XRP, DOGE, LTC, and SOL Set for Potential ETF Approvals This Summer

Regulatory excitement is building as the U.S. sees over 70 ETF applications pending, with renewed attention following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last year. Prominent ETF expert Eric Balchunas highlighted at the Token2019 conference in Dubai that altcoin ETFs tracking XRP, DOGE, SOL, and LTC may receive approval this summer. XRP leads with a 79% probability by the end of the year—though its odds drop to 42% for the July 31 deadline—while DOGE shows a 68% chance by December 31 and less than 25% by July 31. Similarly, SOL and LTC both have strong chances of 78% by year-end, with more modest probabilities of 30% and 24% respectively for the July 31 decision. The news suggests that the regulatory environment continues to evolve favorably, potentially ushering in a period of increased institutional interest and price volatility for these major altcoins as key ETF approval deadlines approach.
