Overview of Crypto ETF Dynamics Last Week
According to The Defiant, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed the decision on the physical subscription and redemption of WisdomTree and VanEck's spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to June 3, 2025. Physical trading involves the direct exchange of underlying assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, rather than cash. The New York Stock Exchange Arca and Cboe BZX are the exchanges associated with these proposals.
Canada to Launch Spot Solana ETF This Week, Supporting Staking Services
According to Cointelegraph, multiple spot Solana ETFs in Canada are set to officially launch on April 16, offering SOL staking services, as reported by Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has approved asset management companies such as Purpose, Evolve, CI, and 3iQ to issue the related ETFs.
This launch marks Canada's first move into the altcoin ETF space. Currently, the U.S. has not approved any crypto ETFs that support staking.
Hong Kong Ethereum Staking ETF Set to Launch, New Crypto Regulations Promote Digital Hub Development
According to Decrypt, after the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) passed new regulations allowing licensed institutions to provide staking services, the Ethereum staking ETF launched in collaboration with Huaxia Fund (Hong Kong) and OSL Digital Securities has been approved and is set to launch by May 15 at the latest. This Ethereum staking ETF operates through the licensed platform OSL's custody and the node verification of French staking service provider Kiln, allowing investors to indirectly earn Ethereum staking rewards.
Last month, the SFC released the "ASPIRe" roadmap, outlining five key pillars—Access, Safeguards, Products, Infrastructure, and Relationships—aiming to build a complete virtual asset ecosystem. Hong Kong's first Ethereum staking ETF is scheduled to launch on April 25, with the government approving two staking crypto ETFs within three months, indicating a gradually competitive regulatory framework.

The fund's stocks will cover areas such as cryptocurrency trading platforms, miners, data centers, energy infrastructure, semiconductors, hardware, traditional financial infrastructure, consumer/gaming, asset management companies, and "balance sheet holders." NODE's maximum 25% exposure will be invested in cryptocurrency trading platform products (ETPs).

Views and Analysis on Crypto ETFs
Analyst: XRP Spot ETF May Be Easier to Obtain SEC Approval Than Other Assets
According to The Block, Kaiko analysts believe that improved market dynamics and the launch of leveraged products last week give XRP an edge in obtaining SEC approval for a spot ETF compared to other assets. May 22 is the next important date to watch, as the SEC must respond to Grayscale's spot XRP ETF application by that date.
Matrixport released a report stating that the net inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs is only slightly above zero, despite a strong performance at the beginning of the year, which saw nearly $5.5 billion in inflows.
This phenomenon is quite surprising, as Bitcoin has outperformed U.S. tech stocks this year, while gold has also reached an all-time high. Notably, the total net inflow into Bitcoin ETFs is $35.5 billion, with BlackRock accounting for $39.6 billion and Fidelity for $11.4 billion, together making up the vast majority of the share.
In contrast, inflows from other ETF issuers are relatively limited. This indicates that the current buying pressure is more likely coming from a specific institutional client base rather than being driven by widespread retail funds—if it were the latter, the inflows would be more evenly distributed among various ETF providers.
