After Bitcoin and Ethereum secured spot ETF approval in the United States, all eyes are now on Solana (SOL) and XRP, the two altcoins most likely to follow. Betting markets give them a 95% chance of success, and institutional interest is building by the day. Asset managers including Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and VanEck have filed applications, with analysts noting a wave of amended S-1 forms—often a sign that regulators and issuers are close to final terms. Market watchers say the process feels less like speculation and more like a countdown. Why Solana and XRP Are Different Stories Despite being grouped together, the two tokens face very different regulatory backdrops. Solana: With unmatched throughput—reportedly 65,000 transactions per second—and dominance in decentralized exchange activity, Solana looks like a natural candidate for institutional adoption. Yet the lingering shadow is the SEC’s earlier claim that SOL may be an unregistered security. A May 2025 ruling on custodial staking helped, but the question hasn’t gone away. XRP: Here the advantage is legal clarity. A federal court decision established that public XRP sales are not securities offerings, giving the token firm ground that Solana lacks. On top of that, regulated XRP futures on CME have already broken records, hitting $1 billion in Open Interest faster than any other product. For Wall Street, that signals readiness. What Approval Could Mean Analysts expect an approval wave to unleash billions in inflows. Forecasts suggest $5–8 billion into XRP ETFs in the first year alone, while Solana could see its price climb toward $335. Constant ETF-driven demand would provide a more stable liquidity base, tighten spreads, and reduce volatility in spot markets. The derivatives side—futures and options used to hedge ETF flows—would likely see a surge as well,… The post Why October 2025 Could Be a Turning Point appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
