Analysis Company: Spot ETF Excitement May Occur in a Surprise Altcoin in 2025! – No ETF Application Has Been Made to Date!
Wintermute analysts said that in 2025, a fundamental asset manager will launch a memecoin ETF.
Following the approval of the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, ETF applications have been made for other altcoins, including XRP, Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR).
While it is said that the first altcoin to receive approval among these applications will be Litecoin, it was stated that the Solana ETF approval could be postponed until 2026.
It is claimed that some altcoins that do not currently have any ETF applications may also receive approval from the SEC. One of these is Dogecoin (DOGE).
Wintermute analysts noted that no asset manager in the US has yet applied for a Dogecoin ETF, but 2025 could be a turning point for DOGE.
“In 2025, a fundamental asset manager will launch a memecoin ETF… The most liquid name is DOGE. Our money is in DOGE.”
Analysts noted that traditional financial institutions are showing intense interest in memecoins in 2024, with Solana-based memecoins Dogwifhat (WIF), BONK (BONK), and PONKE (PONKE) propelling Wintermute’s Over-the-Counter (OTC) market share growth from 0.3% in 2023 to 5.1% in 2024.
The analysts also added that Dogecoin and Shiba Inu account for 53.6% and 34.6% of Wintermute’s OTC volumes in 2024, respectively.
While the Dogecoin ETF talk has been on the rise in recent days, ETF Store President Nate Geraci also expressed his surprise that no DOGE ETF applications have been received to date, saying, “I'm still surprised that no issuer has applied for a Dogecoin ETF… It's the 7th largest digital asset by market cap. At worst, it's a marketing expense for the issuer. At best, you get a very lenient SEC that approves it and Elon praises it.”
While talk of a DOGE ETF is growing, Polymarket rates suggest that investors have low confidence in it happening. According to Polymarket data, the Dogecoin ETF is priced at just 36% for approval in 2025.

The recent decline in the crypto industry stems from several key factors. First, volatility in the macroeconomic environment—such as the sharp drop in US stocks and global market uncertainty—has weighed heavily on high-risk assets like Bitcoin. Second, an increase in hacker attacks, including a $1.5 billion cryptocurrency theft on February 22, triggered panic and led to over 170,000 liquidations. Third, rising regulatory pressure, such as the SEC’s increased scrutiny of cryptocurrencies in the US and restrictions on trading and mining in some countries, has further undermined investor confidence. Additionally, the market is in a consolidation phase, with many funds buying the dip in the short term but quickly exiting as risk appetite declines. Finally, Bitcoin's failure to break through key resistance levels has led to weak demand and network activity, while ETF outflows have exacerbated the downward pressure. These combined factors have created short-term strain on the crypto market, contributing to its decline. As a result, this edition focuses on Earn-related products.
Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Loses Key Support – How Low Could It Go?

Recently, BTC has weakened, altcoins have declined across the board, and trading volume on the Solana blockchain has continued to shrink. Daily transaction volume on Solana has hit new yearly lows, with over $200 million in sell-offs on pump.fun in just over two months since the start of the year. Additionally, the hype surrounding Argentina's president-related memecoin last weekend drained additional liquidity from the Solana network. Adding to investor concerns, a large amount of SOL is set to be unlocked on March 1, exacerbating deteriorating sentiment and leading to a noticeable decline in market wealth effects. Against this backdrop, investors are advised to reduce leverage, manage risk, and reserve funds for potential dip-buying opportunities. This edition highlights several USDT-based, SOL-based, and BTC-based Earn products, offering investors a diverse range of investment options.
