WisdomTree Predicts XRP and Solana To Lead Altcoin Season

WisdomTree has tipped XRP and Solana (SOL) to spearhead an altcoin resurgence in 2025 as investors turn their gaze outside Bitcoin (BTC). The firm’s report points to impressive use cases and incoming mass institutional adoption for both assets.

2025 Will Be The Year Of The Altcoins, Says WisdomTree

After the regulatory milestones achieved by Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2024, WisdomTree says 2025 will see altcoins record similar wins. WisdomTree’s Market Outlook predicts that key jurisdictions will warm up to exchange-traded funds for top altcoins in 2025.

The report specifically mentions XRP and Solana as altcoins expected to receive ETPs in global markets. Analysts at WisdomTree say both assets have demonstrated potential as “institutional-grade investment vehicles.”

For Solana, its capabilities for NFTs, DApps, and DeFi make it a top blockchain in the cryptoverse. On the other hand, XRP is carving a niche for itself in cross-border and global settlements.

“By approving ETPs for assets such as Solana and XRP, regulators would broaden the spectrum of crypto investment opportunities,” read the report.

At the moment, billions in ETF outflows from BTC and ETH have dampened the enthusiasm of investors, triggering interest in new ETPs.

The report highlights Solana’s stablecoin functionalities and XRP Ledger’s near-instant transaction as part of the reasons for ETP approvals. WisdomTree analysts say the approvals open doors to nearly “$300 trillion of managed wealth.”

The Inclusion In A Crypto Strategic Reserve Underscores XRP and SOL’s Relevance

SOL and XRP made the cut for a US Crypto Strategic Reserve, accentuating their growing institutional influence. The announcement sent asset prices surging to new highs amid whispers of a flippening for Ethereum.

XRP’s case with the SEC is inching toward a dismissal with analysts predicting May as the end to the lawsuit.

Frank Templeton has filed an S-1 with the SEC to launch a Solana spot ETF, fuelling speculation for a fresh rally. Experts say the approval for the Solana ETF will happen in 2025, citing a change in stances by the SEC.
