Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, has highlighted an analysis by JPMorgan, which projects that exchange-traded products (ETPs) for XRP and Solana could attract between $3 billion and $8 billion.
These estimates are based on adoption rates observed in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, signaling strong growth potential for these digital assets.
According to the image shared by Sigel, Exchange-traded products tied to Bitcoin currently hold $108 billion in assets, which accounts for 6% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization of $1.874 trillion.
Similarly, Ethereum ETPs reached a penetration rate of 3% of the asset’s total market cap—$12 billion of assets relative to Ethereum’s $395 billion market cap—within their first six months of operation.
JPMorgan analysts applied these adoption metrics to forecast potential outcomes for XRP and Solana. If these assets achieve similar levels of penetration, their ETPs could unlock significant new capital flows into the respective markets.
The report suggests that XRP, with its market cap of $146.5 billion at the time of the analysis, could attract between $4.3 billion (at a 3% penetration rate) and $8.4 billion (at a 6% penetration rate) into ETPs. Solana, with a market cap of $90.5 billion, might see inflows ranging from $2.7 billion (3%) to $5.2 billion (6%).
These projections underline the strong potential of both assets to capture a significant share of institutional and retail investment through ETPs. Sigel’s insights align with the growing optimism around the development and mainstream adoption of crypto-linked investment products.
The potential influx of billions into XRP and SOL through ETPs could mark a pivotal step in broadening access to these digital assets. ETPs simplify exposure to cryptocurrencies for institutional investors and retail participants by bypassing the complexities of direct token ownership.
The success of XRP and Solana ETPs would further validate the demand for regulated and tradable investment products tied to cryptocurrencies. Additionally, these projections come at the moment when regulatory clarity for XRP is expected to improve with Donald Trump’s administration.
Experts believe the SEC will dismiss its lawsuit against Ripple once Trump takes office, and provide proper crypto-friendly regulation to help the industry grow. This would increase investor confidence, and XRP’s ability to draw institutional interest.
JPMorgan’s analysis highlights the importance of ETP adoption rates as a key indicator of institutional interest in cryptocurrencies. If Solana and XRP replicate the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum, they could significantly strengthen their positions within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
