ETFs will usher institutions into altcoins, just like Bitcoin: Analyst

Market analysts anticipate that the approval of altcoin ETFs in the United States will trigger a new wave of institutional investment in cryptocurrencies. This expectation follows the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in attracting capital, with spot Ether ETFs surpassing Bitcoin ETFs in inflows during Q3 2025, reaching $9.6 billion. Leon Waidmann of Onchain believes altcoin ETF inflows are a natural progression, reflecting growing regulatory confidence and capital flow. Smart money traders are already positioning themselves by accumulating tokens like Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), and Chainlink (LINK). However, some analysts, like Vetle Lunde of K33, express concern that the absence of BlackRock – whose Bitcoin ETF has seen significant investment – may limit the overall inflows into altcoin ETFs.
