Binance analysts highlight that the future of new crypto ETFs is clouded by regulatory uncertainties, raising doubts about their approval and implications for the market.
With regulatory challenges affecting newly proposed crypto exchange-traded funds associated with assets such as Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP), analysts at Binance stress the importance of fundamental advancements throughout the broader ecosystem to draw in institutional investments and ensure “sustainable growth.”
According to a research report published by crypto.news on Friday, the analysts expressed apprehensions regarding the recently submitted ETFs, pointing out that these tokens suffer from a limited derivative market, low institutional involvement, and persistent regulatory examination. They warned that the approval process for these new asset ETFs “is expected to be both protracted and complicated.”
“The market may also wait for the overall success and acceptance of Ethereum ETFs to set a precedent before considering additional digital asset ETFs.”

Nonetheless, the analysts mentioned that the upcoming election season could shift regulatory viewpoints, potentially changing the landscape for these financial products. Historically, crypto markets have responded dramatically to new events and narratives, but long-term growth will ultimately rely on sectors such as decentralized finance, tokenization, and stablecoins securing product-market fit, as highlighted in the report.
Institutions should look beyond Bitcoin
Although spot ETFs have opened doors for many investors, they are merely “one component of the larger market,” according to Binance. For the crypto sector to see sustainable growth, the analysts argue that capital must flow into various areas “beyond Bitcoin,” asserting that significant institutional investments will likely necessitate a market transition toward fundamentals-driven growth.
The analysts at Binance concluded that the growth of blockchain-native products will not only foster on-chain adoption but also draw greater investment into Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and the overall crypto ecosystem.
