With a major leadership change coming at the SEC, the fate of crypto ETFs is now hanging in the balance. As Gary Gensler prepares to step down as SEC chair in just 3 days, the market is on edge, wondering how the new leadership will impact the approval process for key assets like Solana, Litecoin, and XRP.
Recent reports suggest that while Solana’s ETF has faced a setback, Litecoin is showing signs of a potential breakthrough. Could 2025 be the year Litecoin becomes the first altcoin to secure approval?
Keep reading to find out what’s next for these highly anticipated crypto ETFs.
Fox journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that Solana’s ETF had attracted attention from SEC staff, but its 19b4 filings were rejected a few weeks ago, while Gary Gensler was still in charge.

On the other hand, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas revealed that the SEC had provided feedback on Litecoin’s S-1 filing, which points to the likelihood of Litecoin’s ETF getting approved soon.
Balchunas had predicted that Litecoin would be the next coin to receive ETF approval, and it seems that prediction is becoming more likely. Still, the new SEC chair’s arrival could play a significant role in the final decision.
The positive momentum for Litecoin comes after Canary Capital filed an updated S-1 form on Wednesday, taking the first step in registering its Litecoin ETF with the SEC.
Both XRP and Solana have faced delays in the approval of their ETFs, but there is still hope. The upcoming leadership change at the SEC could bring a fresh perspective, which might help move these applications forward.
If these ETFs are approved, they could bring more institutional interest to the cryptocurrency market, potentially boosting overall growth. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the future of Solana, Litecoin, and XRP ETFs.
