Bloomberg Analysts Expect SEC to Greenlight Litecoin ETF Approval Soon

Litecoin ETF Approval Likelihood May Increase as Regulatory Hurdles Ease

According to Bloomberg analysts, there is a 90% chance that the US Securities Commission will authorize a spot Litecoin ETF before the year ends.

According to their estimates, the chances of approval for spot XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin ETFs in 2025 are 65%, 70%, and 75%, respectively.
