Foreign media report that as demand for XRP, Solana, and multi-asset crypto products continues to grow in the U.S. market, BlackRock may expand its spot crypto ETF lineup beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to include additional tokens. However, this assessment remains speculative at this stage, as BlackRock has not publicly disclosed any such plans.
The current product scale is nearly $70 billion.
As of August 26, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, had net assets of approximately $60.52 billion. Among the two Ethereum-related products, ETHA had assets of approximately $8.26 billion, while ETHB, which supports staking rewards, had assets of approximately $833 million.
Based on current data, BlackRock’s main crypto ETFs collectively manage assets nearing $69.6 billion. However, both ETHA and ETHB are underpinned by Ethereum, with the latter additionally incorporating staking yield; they cannot be simply regarded as three entirely independent crypto exposures.
There are no new applications in the public record.
The report noted that Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, believes BlackRock will eventually launch additional spot crypto ETFs, potentially including single altcoin or multi-asset index products. However, he provided no evidence such as regulatory filings, internal company communications, or undisclosed product plans.
Based on a search of public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as of August 27, no registration documents have been found for BlackRock submitting spot ETFs for XRP, Solana, or any other single altcoin, nor any public applications for an加密指数 ETF.
Competitors have expanded their product lines.
Unlike BlackRock, which remains focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, some competitors have expanded their product offerings to include XRP, Solana, and multi-asset structures. According to the report, the seven U.S.-based spot XRP ETFs held approximately $1 billion in assets combined in August; as of August 24, these products had accumulated net inflows of about $1.57 billion.
The report suggests that whether BlackRock proceeds with expansion next will ultimately depend on client demand, liquidity, custody support, market monitoring conditions, and the expected size of the fund. At this stage, the first clear signal of a strategic shift will still be an SEC filing, a Delaware trust registration, or an official corporate announcement.
