Altcoin: The ETF Boom Explodes – XRP, SOL, LTC, HBAR, DOGE, LINK, and the Emergence of New Opportunities
While the spotlight has been on Solana (SOL) ETFs, which have attracted approximately $682 million in inflows, XRP ETFs have quietly surpassed them with $874 million, despite launching later. Simultaneously, a new wave of altcoin ETFs for LTC, HBAR, DOGE, and LINK has entered the market, each recording modest but stable inflows since their debut.
Seven separate Solana ETFs have generated $618.62 million in net inflows, holding $915.08 million in assets under management, representing about 1.15% of Solana's market cap. In contrast, four XRP ETFs have attracted $874.28 million, with Canary's XRPC leading at $357 million.
The newly launched altcoin ETFs for LINK, HBAR, LTC, and DOGE have collectively seen $133.46 million in net inflows. Grayscale's GLNK attracted $40.90 million, Canary's LTCC (Litecoin) drew $7.67 million, and its HBR (HBAR) ETF recorded $82.04 million. Two DOGE ETFs brought in $2.85 million.
This expansion signals a new market phase of diverse choices and intense competition. However, these new altcoin ETFs remain far behind the established Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in terms of total capital.
Amid this ETF boom, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is emerging as a potential altcoin outside the traditional ETF scope. It's a Bitcoin Layer-2 project built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), combining Solana's speed with Bitcoin's security. Having raised nearly $29 million in its presale, it offers a fixed supply of 21 billion tokens and 40% staking APY, positioning itself to unlock Bitcoin's potential in DeFi.
