Bloomberg Analyst Predicts Memecoin ETF by 2026

Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas predicts the launch of a U.S.-listed memecoin ETF by 2026, which could significantly impact the market landscape for these tokens. He highlights the positive shift in SEC stance toward crypto ETFs, potentially leading to more active fund management and increased institutional investment in the space. Balchunas’ prediction also suggests that actively managed crypto ETFs will debut by Winter 2025, with meme coin-focused funds potentially following suit in 2026. The rise of these products could be amplified by limited sell-side coverage and high return dispersion, making it an attractive environment for active fund managers.
