Altcoins is entering a fresh era where the SEC approves the key principles behind mixed Crypto ETFs, allowing regular Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) products to track Altcoin prices beyond Ethereum (ETH).
According to the official notes, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has greenlighted Hashdex’s Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF. But it is about to change.
XRP, XLM, SOL & ADA Make Mixed ETF Baskets
Over 87% of this mixed crypto index, the other 13% consists of three altcoins that have never been featured in traditionally regulated ETFs. The expanded digital asset basket has Ripple (XRP) in the set, accounting for 6.9% of this Crypto ETF product.
Additionally, Hashdex’s Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF features Solana (SOL) with 4.20% and 0.30% of the star lumen (XLM). This opens the Chartered area for Blue-Chip Altcoins. This is an all-stand-alone ETF product candidate and the SEC is expected to make a decision by the end of the year.
General list rules open the next generation ETF method
This comes weeks after the grand approval of the SEC’s general ETF list standard for commodity-based trust stocks, including Crypto, which includes Crypto. When you streamline the process for digital asset-based ETF products, this applies to all submissions submitted to NASDAQ.
With most decisions on a single crypto ETF coming in the fourth quarter of 2025, this shows a breakthrough that experts have suggested. To explain, Bloomberg financial market analysts provide the odds of 90% to 95% for standalone ETF approvals for Ripple (XRP), Stellar Lumens (XLM) & Cardano (ADA) in this term.
On the flip side
- Despite increasing generosity for crypto assets since Paul Atkins stepped into the office, the SEC is notorious for its ETF deferral decision, so a settlement in late 2025 is not guaranteed.
Why is this important?
Major cap Altcoins included in ETF transactions may assume institutional cryptographic participation to a level that is not previously visible.

People ask:
The SEC approved the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ) on September 24, 2025.
The streamlined 75-day approval process promotes increased liquidity and legitimacy for XRP, SOL and XLM, and drives potentially significant price increases.
It holds ~3.56m of ripple (XRP coin), 29,383 Solana (SOL), and 1.32m Stellar Lumens (XLM), providing diverse cryptographic exposures without direct token ownership.
ETF News has sparked intraday profits. A sustained influx could push XRP to $3+ and SOL into 250+, but as momentum slows, volatility could test support.
Over 90 ETF applications are pending, including those focused on XRP and sols. Expect more multi-asset ETFs at the end of the year and more for each mainstream altcoin.
