New Crypto ETFs Coming 2026: Solana, XRP, ETH Layer-2 & More?
As of late January 2026, the crypto ETF landscape is expanding rapidly beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. Spot Solana ETFs (multiple issuers like Franklin, Bitwise, and others with fees as low as 0.19%) are live and attracting inflows, XRP spot ETFs (5+ funds with over $225M–$1.3B+ AUM cumulative, led by Grayscale GXRP at 0.35% fee post-waiver) have launched and seen early momentum, while Ethereum continues to benefit from staking ETFs and Layer-2 exposure indirectly through broader ecosystem products. Analysts (Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares) predict more approvals in 2026, including potential for additional altcoin ETFs (e.g., Chainlink, Dogecoin) and innovative structures like leveraged/inverse or multi-asset funds, driven by regulatory tailwinds (GENIUS Act implementation, CLARITY Act progress) and institutional demand.
In this data-driven video, we break down what's new and what's next for crypto ETFs in 2026:
Current Status: Solana ETFs drawing capital (e.g., inflows contributing to SOL's early-2026 performance), XRP ETFs amassing AUM quickly (over $1.3B in some estimates), ETH staking ETFs (Grayscale's first-of-its-kind tracking Ether with staking rewards)
New & Expected ETFs: Solana spot funds fully operational, XRP ETFs expanding (more issuers possible), potential ETH Layer-2 focused products (indirect via ecosystem exposure), and broader altcoin ETFs (e.g., Solana/XRP/others as per Bitwise predictions of ETFs buying 100% of new supply for BTC/ETH/SOL)
Drivers & Catalysts: Regulatory clarity in USA (post-Trump policies), institutional rotation (capital shifting from BTC/ETH to altcoin exposure), and ETF inflows (e.g., Bitcoin/Ether/Solana/XRP extending streaks before reversals)
Implications: ETFs as primary on-ramp for institutions (pensions, 401(k)s), reduced volatility, and accelerated adoption; potential for $100B+ in altcoin ETF AUM if approvals continue
Risks & Scenarios: Approval delays, outflows during volatility, competition from direct holdings, and regulatory hurdles; base case: more altcoin ETFs in H1/H2 2026
This is NOT financial advice—DYOR, ETFs involve market, regulatory, and tracking risks. 2026 could see crypto ETFs become a mainstream gateway!
