Memecoin ETFs Expected in 2026, Says Analyst
Eric Balchunas predicts the debut of memecoin-focused ETFs by 2026. His analysis emphasizes regulatory and market trends crucial for this potential launch.
Bloomberg Intelligence cites active ETFs coming in Winter 2025, with memecoin ETFs following. This projection is based on market performance and regulatory narratives.
Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Could See Market Shifts
Memecoin ETFs could shift attention towards specific crypto assets, notably Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe. This may alter the current market dynamics significantly.
No official declarations have been made by the SEC or other authorities regarding these ETFs, leaving room for speculation. Market players are observing the situation closely.
Niche Crypto Products Follow ETF Trends
Historically, crypto ETFs in the U.S. have followed a trend from broad to niche products. Speculative ETFs such as memecoins would fit this cycle post-2025.
Balchunas highlights the potential for next-star managers, driven by market dispersion. The historical timeline suggests memecoin ETFs might emerge post-mainstream crypto ETF acceptance.
Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence, “Really good chance this exists at some point. First we’ll get slew of active crypto ETFs (eta Winter 2025). Active meme coin-only likely 2026 tho. The return dispersion (and lack of sell side coverage) ripe for active. Could produce next star manager. Who knows.”
