Futures-Based SOL and XRP ETFs Surge Past $1B as Spot ETF Speculation Heats Up
- Solana and XRP futures ETFs have surpassed $1B in inflows just months after launch, with both products attracting hundreds of millions in July alone.
- Strong performance is fueling speculation that spot ETFs for SOL and XRP could get SEC approval, with October’s filing deadline being the key date to watch.
- Investors are increasingly drawn to regulated crypto products, signaling growing mainstream adoption and setting the stage for potentially massive institutional inflows if spot ETFs go live.
Solana (SOL) and XRP futures-based ETFs have smashed through the $1 billion mark in total inflows, underscoring just how hungry investors are for regulated crypto investment products. Both ETFs, launched earlier this year, have been racking up assets at an impressive pace—fanning the flames of speculation that spot ETFs for these altcoins could be next in line for approval. With the SEC’s October filing deadline looming, the market is buzzing over what could be a pivotal moment for both assets.
A Fast Start for SOL and XRP Futures ETFs
Solana’s futures ETF hit the market in March, followed by XRP’s in April, and both have been off to a roaring start. The REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF has gathered about $150 million in AUM, while the Teucrium 2X Long Daily XRP ETF now sits above $160 million. July alone brought in roughly $350 million each, marking their biggest monthly inflow yet. This rapid growth shows that, even without direct exposure to the underlying tokens, demand for regulated crypto products remains strong—and rising.
Eyes on Spot ETF Approval
The success of these futures ETFs has given traders hope that spot versions might not be far behind. Analysts say that solid performance here could smooth the path for SEC approval, with BlackRock’s potential involvement adding extra weight to the speculation. While some rumors claimed that plans for SOL and XRP spot ETFs had been scrapped, industry voices like MartyParty have called that “fake news,” reaffirming that the October deadline is still in play for possible filings. Whether the SEC moves forward or not, these futures ETFs have already proven that the appetite is real.
Growing Mainstream Appeal
For investors, the attraction is clear—futures ETFs provide a way to ride the price movements of SOL and XRP without the hassle of wallets, exchanges, or self-custody. As capital keeps flowing into these funds, it’s a sign that cryptocurrency-based ETFs are moving deeper into the mainstream financial market. The coming months could be decisive: if spot ETFs win approval, they might trigger a flood of institutional and retail interest, reshaping the landscape for both Solana and XRP in the next phase of the crypto cycle.
