And with the imminent inauguration of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/from-policy-to-priority-trump-cryptocurrency-agenda-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">crypto-friendly Donald Trump<\/a>, the US regulatory landscape is expected to become a tad more favorable for the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Interestingly, asset managers are not waiting till power changes hands before taking advantage of the shift, as they sent in a flurry of applications for crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this week. Here\u2019s an overview of the latest ETF applications related to digital assets.\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Crypto ETFs Take Center Stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Friday, January 17, various asset management firms filed applications for at least half a dozen crypto exchange-traded funds with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Most notably, asset manager ProShares applied for leveraged &amp; inverse XRP and Solana ETFs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For context, a leveraged exchange-traded fund is designed to amplify the performance of its underlying asset (XRP, in this case). Meanwhile, an inverse ETF offers exposure to the opposite performance of an asset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">ProShares also filed for XRP and <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/is-solana-futures-etf-coming-volatility-shares\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Solana futures exchange-traded funds<\/a> with the SEC. These investment products offer investors exposure to XRP\u2019s and Solana\u2019s price movements through futures contracts (agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price in the future).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to Nate Geraci, Valkyrie also applied for CoinShares Digital Asset ETF, which would provide exposure to the 10 largest digital assets by market capitalization. Meanwhile, investment firm Tidal submitted a filing for Oasis Capital Digital Asset Debt Strategy ETF, which would invest in the debt of companies involved in digital asset-related activities.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-371811 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-09.36.36.png?resize=739%2C660\" alt=\"Crypto\" width=\"739\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-09.36.36.png?w=1062 1062w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-09.36.36.png?w=471 471w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-09.36.36.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-09.36.36.png?w=739 739w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-18-at-09.36.36.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This latest\u00a0<a style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NateGeraci\/status\/1880416084299510041\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">flurry<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NateGeraci\/status\/1880416084299510041\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0of ETF filings<\/a> comes on the back of applications from Canary Capital and VanEck.
