As a researcher looking back over the past year, I can’t help but reflect on the momentous occasion when Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finally received approval to trade in the United States. This was a pivotal turning point that set the stage for the strongest ETF debut our financial market has ever experienced. The launch of these crypto investment products has undeniably left an indelible mark on the cryptocurrency market, as we’ve all witnessed a substantial shift taking place since their inception.
In the second year onward, discussions have been abundant regarding Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), their performance, and the broader crypto ETF scene of 2025. Notable figures like Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, are sharing their views on what we might expect from crypto-related ETFs in this current year.
Bitcoin ETFs To Surpass Gold ETFs In Total Assets
Geraci, in a January 11 post on social media platform X, outlined his forecasts for crypto exchange-traded funds in the year 2025. As per the President of the ETF Store, Bitcoin products that are only one year old appear poised to carry on from where they ended in 2024.
Initially and quite evidently, Geraci foresees that the market for Bitcoin ETFs based in the U.S. could potentially outperform the market for gold ETFs (excepting a significant drop in Bitcoin’s value). At present, the combined net assets of spot Bitcoin ETFs amount to approximately $107.64 billion, while gold-backed ETFs hold around $271 billion in assets.
According to Geraci’s prediction, it is anticipated that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will give its approval for options trading on Ether ETFs in the near future. Furthermore, he suggested that Ether exchange-traded fund staking might receive SEC’s approval by 2025.
During the process of applying for a Bitcoin ETF, one of the main points of debate was the method known as “in-kind creation and redemption.” Geraci predicts that investors will be able to swap actual Bitcoins or Ethereums for creating or redeeming their ETF shares in 2025.
Moreover, the President of the ETF Store anticipates that the Bitwise Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF, designed to invest in companies embracing the “Bitcoin standard,” is expected to debut and accumulate over $1 billion in assets by the end of this year. Additionally, it’s projected that around 50 other crypto-related ETFs will be introduced to the market in the year 2025.
Significantly, Geraci predicts that the Solana and XRP ETFs, as well as the Bitwise and Grayscale Crypto Index ETFs, will likely be approved by 2025. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that the President of the ETF Store foresees Vanguard eventually giving clients access to spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs.
Total Crypto Market Cap
Based on information from CoinGecko, the combined value of all cryptocurrencies is approximately 3.46 trillion dollars, representing a decrease of more than 1% over the past day. Bitcoin dominates this field with a market valuation of 1.87 trillion dollars, while Ethereum follows significantly behind at 495 billion dollars in market capitalization.
