Catenaa, Saturday, August 30, 2025- Investment firms are submitting a wave of advanced crypto ETF filings, including active management and leveraged products, signaling a potential boom in approvals starting in October, sources said.
21Shares has filed an active crypto fund alongside 2x leveraged Dogecoin and Sui ETFs, while multiple XRP ETF issuers updated filings following SEC feedback. Regulators have delayed decisions on Trump Media and Solana ETFs until October to allow for further review.
Experts say prior approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs created regulatory precedent, giving firms confidence to pursue more sophisticated products.
Actively managed ETFs allow professional managers to take directional bets, while leveraged products offer aggressive exposure for institutional clients. Analysts caution retail investors that high volatility may lead passive funds to outperform over time.
The filings also reflect growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets. JPMorgan is reportedly exploring financing against crypto ETFs, while Ethereum ETFs and corporate reserves now hold nearly 8% of total ETH supply.
Firms including Bitmine Immersion Tech and The Ether Fund have expanded treasury holdings, supporting Ethereum’s price increase from $1,800 in April to over $4,300.
