In the midst of the rising interest in Altcoin ETFs and expectations of their approval in 2025, Memecoin ETFs also start to attract attention.

“I think there should be an ETF that actively acts Memecoins – buy and sell on the basis of performance. It would hold the promising and selling the weaker. In principle, an actively managed memecoin ETF.”
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas weighs inside
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas was added to the FRAY and expected a wave of actively managed cryptocurrency ETFs at the end of 2025 to appear, making it scene for more niche offers.
He projects that a memecoin-oriented ETF, listed by the US, could make his debut in 2026, which is a reflection of the growing interest in this once missed digital assets.
Balchunas added”
“Really a good chance that this will exist at some point. First we get a whole series of active crypto ETFs (ETA Winter 2025). Active memecoin-all–probably 2026 THO.”
He added,
“The return dispersion (and lack of coverage for sales side) mature for Active. Could produce the next star manager. Who knows.”
He believes that Memecoin -targeted ETFs can be well suited for active management strategies, given the unequal performance in different tokens and the limited financial research around them.
The Bloomberg analyst also suggested that instead of retaining memecoins, these ETFs can get exposure through alternative mechanisms.
For example, they could invest in other ETFs that are registered under the 1940 or 1933 acts that include Memecoin Holdings.
This approach would enable fund managers to make flexible portfolios while staying within the current regulatory boundaries, making such products more viable for regular investors.
Challenges forward
Despite the growing interest in Niche -Crypto -ATFs, the progress continues to get stuck while the SEC continues to postpone statements about various proposals in which Ripple is involved [XRP]Solana [SOL]Litecoin [LTC]and dogecoin [DOGE].
This repeated postponing has led to frustration with emptents.
In response, ETF providers such as Vaneck, 21Shares and Canary Capital have formally asked the SEC to return to a “first file” assessment model, with the argument that it would restore the honesty and transparency for the approval process.
Until then, the path remains forward for Memecoin and other crypto-oriented ETFs and depends on the clarity of the regulations.
