A Memecoin ETF? Analysts consider this possible until 2026

A stock -traded fund -traded fund (ETF), which specializes exclusively in Memecoins, could soon become a reality.
The Bloomberg ETF expert Eric Balchunas believesthat with the introduction of active crypto ETFs-probably at the end of 2025-niche products such as a pure Memecoin fund could follow.
Balchunas replied to a discussion on social media that the opportunities for the introduction of such a product would be “very good” within the next two years. He noted that the strong price fluctuations and the limited institutional coverage of Memecoins make them more suitable for active administration than for a passive replica.
Instead of keeping the coins directly, a Memecoin ETF could use indirect engagements via other cryptofonds that are structured according to existing laws such as the 1940 or 1933 act.
This would offer asset managers more flexibility, while they at the same time comply with the compliance boundaries.
The industry analyst Dave Nadig added that the current grantor trust rules prevent active management of crypto trust, which could delay the introduction of such an ETF, unless the rules change. However, since Paul Atkins is now chairing the SEC and is committed to wider access to cryptocurrencies, this could change soon.
Meanwhile, the SEC continues to move decisions on top-class ETF applications, including those related to Ethereum-Staking and assets such as XRP, Solana, Litecoin and Dogecoin. In the end, Dogecoin could be the first Memecoin to seriously test the appetite of the regulatory authorities on such a fund. Balchunas indicated that the way the SEC deals with the application could be an indication of how memecoin ETFs continue.
