  • Bloomberg analysts looked at ETFs focused on Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin
  • They believe a Dogecoin ETF has a 75% chance of being approved in 2025 followed by Solana at 70%, and XRP with 65%
  • Nasdaq filed two ETF 19b-4 forms for CoinShares with the SEC, seeking the approval of a Litecoin and XRP ETF

Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas believe that a Litecoin ETF has a 90% chance of being approved in 2025.

Taking to X, Seyffart said: “@EricBalchunas and I took a look at the filings for spot crypto ETFs. We’re putting out relatively high odds of approval across the board. Mainly focused on Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin for now.”

In a table, Seyffart notes that a Dogecoin ETF has a 75% chance of approval, a Solana ETF has a 70% chance, and an XRP ETF has a 65% approval rating.

Seyffart added that it’s unlikely the market will see an XRP ETF until the whole Ripple/XRP/SEC case is settled, finished, or has some sort of outcome.

“The SEC needs to untangle that mess,” he said.

Nasdaq files ETF forms

The news comes as Nasdaq filed two 19b-4 forms with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on behalf of CoinShares for Litecoin and XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Nasdaq is seeking approval to list and trade a CoinShares Litecoin ETF and XRP ETF following CoinShares S-1 filings submission in January. Crypto ETFs have gained in popularity since the US spot Bitcoin ETFs launched last January.

CoinShares is hoping to take advantage of this by expanding its presence into the US market.

The news follows that of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe), which submitted four 19b-4 forms to the SEC last week. On behalf of  21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, and WisdomTree, Cboe filed the forms for XRP ETFs.

In October, Bitwise filed an S-1 form for an XRP ETF with the SEC. Similarly, Canary Capital filed for an XRP ETF last year, reflecting its broader strategy to bring multiple crypto ETFs to the market.

A push for more crypto ETFs

With the launch of US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, more are looking to capitalize on the introduction of other crypto ETFs into the market.

Back in October, Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, indicated that an XRP ETF was “inevitable.” At the time, he highlighted there was increased demand from both institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to digital assets.

To date, the total net inflow of Bitcoin ETFs is more than $40 billion since their approval, according to SoSoValue data.

Last July, Cboe filed two Solana ETFs with the SEC. The deadline for the SEC to provide a decision is expected next month.

Nasdaq also filed a 19b-4 form for a Litecoin ETF for Canary Capital in January. All of this is a broader push from several organizations keen to see different crypto ETFs in light of a favorable SEC following President Donald Trump’s inauguration last month.

Mavryk Dynamics raises $5M to build its RWA L1 blockchain network

  • USAID will change its name to the US Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA)
  • By using blockchain technology, it will “radically increase security, transparency, and traceability”
  • The revamp comes after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut USAID numbers from 10,000 to just under 300 in early February

The Trump administration reportedly wants its United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to “leverage blockchain technology” as it works on renaming the organization.

According to a report from WIRED, a government memo has been circulating among State Department officials detailing plans for USAID. In the 13-page document – first reported on by Politico – it states that as part of the revamp, USAID will change its name to US Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA).

The memo also suggests “leveraging blockchain technology” which will “radically increase security, transparency, and traceability.”

It adds: “This approach would encourage innovation and efficiency among implementing partners and allow for more flexible and responsive programming focused on tangible impact rather than simply completing activities and inputs.”

USAID staffers on leave

Since US President Donald Trump re-entered the White House, significant changes have been made to organizations in the US. One of which is USAID.

In early February, USAID staff were put on administrative leave “with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions,” according to a government notice.

Following the implementation of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), staff numbers at USAID have been cut from 10,000 to just under 300.

In a post on X in February, Musk wrote: “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die.”

Blockchain in humanitarian efforts

The use of blockchain in humanitarian efforts has been used before with many seeing the potential is can bring. In 2020, UNICEF invested around 135 Ethereum – about $30,000 at the time – into eight companies from seven developing countries to assist in developing prototypes and to scale their projects.

Financial services company AID:Tech turned to the payment rails of stablecoin issuer Circle to provide fraud-resistant disaster relief delivery in USDC in 2021. By doing so, they wanted to reduce inequality and increase opportunities by bringing accountability and transparency to the distribution of federal relief.

Realizing the benefits of blockchain technology, AID:Tech was the first company to use the technology to deliver international aid in 2015.
