XRP and SOL ETFs could boost crypto ETPs by about $14 billion
According to a JPMorgan prediction, the approval of SOL and XRP ETFs could increase the influx into digital asset investment products by about $14 billion cumulatively. The bank suggested that SOL ETFs could raise between $3 and $6 billion, while XRP ETFs could raise between $3 and $8 billion.
Several asset management companies have applied for XRP and Solana ETFs, including Bitwise and Canary Capital. More asset management firms are also open to filing for more ETFs, including memecoin ETFs.
Rex Osprey recently filed for Dogecoin, BONK, and $TRUMP ETFs to target a wider investor base. The asset management companies speculate that the new change in the U.S. SEC authority and the introduction of more crypto-friendly regulations will create a better chance for crypto ETF approvals.
Trump’s executive orders to establish U.S. lead in digital finance
President Trump signed an executive order on January 23 to introduce regulatory clarity in the digital finance space. The executive order aimed to establish the country’s leadership in digital asset finance. It also looks to drive innovation within crypto and blockchain and provide fair economic opportunities for U.S. citizens.
The executive order by President Trump revealed that the president will establish a Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets, including stablecoins. President Trump ordered the AI and Crypto Czar to lead the Working Group with the U.S SEC chair, Secretary of the Treasury, and other notable department heads as part of the group.
The president also mentioned that the Working Group will explore the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve to create a BTC stockpile for the U.S. Trump promised that he will make the country a world leader in BTC ownership, including through BTC mining and more BTC purchases in the future.
The U.S. SEC is also taking steps to create regulatory clarity for digital assets by creating a new crypto task force. The commission’s new chair, Mark Uyeda, appointed Commissioner Hester Pierce as the head of the task force, which is tasked with exploring a more sensible regulatory framework for crypto assets.
