A wave of newly launched spot altcoin ETFs are making headlines, even after the U.S. government’s longest shutdown pushed the crypto market into a sharp correction. While spot Bitcoin ETFs saw heavy outflows, several newer altcoin ETFs recorded zero days of net outflows, raising questions about whether certain altcoins may outperform once the market recovers.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the five cryptocurrencies that recently received U.S. spot ETFs and why they may be positioned for a strong bounce.
XRP: Strong ETF Launches Despite Market Drop
XRP was designed to speed up and lower the cost of global payments. Unlike traditional banking systems that rely on slow messaging networks like SWIFT, XRP transactions settle in seconds at extremely low fees.
Because of this real-world use case, institutional interest has grown quickly since spot XRP ETFs went live.
ETF Impact
- First ETF launched on Nov. 13 with $58M in day-one volume
- Attracted $250M in inflows, the largest ETF debut of 2025
- Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale followed with additional ETFs
- Combined day-one inflows exceeded $160M
Although XRP’s price fell 23% during the market-wide downturn, these ETF inflows show strong institutional demand that could lift XRP once sentiment improves.
Solana (SOL): ETF Momentum Supports a Local Bottom
Solana continues to be one of the fastest-growing ecosystems thanks to its speed, low fees, and explosive memecoin activity. It also aims to become a “decentralized Nasdaq,” powering tokenized assets at scale.
ETF Impact
- Over $370M in inflows across Solana ETFs in November
- Fidelity and VanEck ETFs added fresh demand
- Some ETFs include built-in staking, giving investors yield
- SOL’s price appears to have formed a local bottom after listings
As the market positions for a possible final leg up, analysts expect spot Solana ETFs to play a major role in SOL’s recovery.
Dogecoin (DOGE): ETF Interest Rekindles Memecoin Hype
Dogecoin, the original memecoin, now has its own spot ETF, giving investors exposure without needing to hold DOGE directly.
Why It Matters
- DOGE has potential real-world catalysts, especially speculation around Elon Musk integrating Dogecoin payments on X
- Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF launched on Nov. 24
- Although day-one volume was small ($1.4M), earlier hype was absorbed by a non-spot DOGE ETF
ETF interest confirms that traditional investors are increasingly open to memecoins, which could support future DOGE rallies.
Litecoin (LTC): Weak ETF Demand But More Approvals Coming
Litecoin is often called “digital silver,” making it a potential diversification tool for investors already holding Bitcoin.
ETF Impact
- Only one spot Litecoin ETF approved so far
- Very low launch interest — less than $1M in first-day trading
- Total trading since launch is just $30M
- Several days passed with zero inflows
For now, the ETF has had almost no impact on Litecoin’s price. However, multiple additional LTC ETFs are pending approval, which could trigger renewed momentum.
Hedera (HBAR): Strong Inflows for a Non-Blockchain Alternative
Hedera stands out because it does not use a blockchain. Instead, it uses a hashgraph, a fast and energy-efficient distributed ledger that processes transactions nearly instantly.
ETF Impact
- Canary Capital launched the first HBAR spot ETF on Oct. 28
- $8M first-day volume
- More than $70M in inflows to date
- Multiple additional Hedera ETFs expected soon
Despite strong ETF interest, HBAR’s price hasn’t reacted yet — but analysts see rising inflows as a positive sign for future moves.
