Crypto-ETFs on the rise: what’s going on in the market?
The market for crypto-ETFs is booming. In the US today, the first Solana (SOL) futures ETFs were launched, allowing investors to speculate on the price without owning SOL themselves. Meanwhile, applications for crypto-ETFs are raining in the U.S. with applications for alternative cryptocurrencies such as Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA) and Litecoin (LTC). After a period of outflows, Bitcoin ETFs are seeing strong capital inflows again. Ethereum ETFs, on the other hand, continue to lag behind in recent weeks. However, the increasing involvement of major financial players underscores the growing acceptance of crypto as an asset class in its own right.
FOMC’s decision and the Digital Asset Summit
At the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on March 19, 2025, interest rates remained unchanged at 4.25% – 4.5%. The Fed lowered its growth forecast to 1.7% and raised its inflation expectation to 2.8%, in part due to economic uncertainty from recently announced tariffs. In response, financial markets rebounded, including the crypto market. In particular, markets reacted positively to the news that the Fed is significantly slowing the deleveraging of its bond portfolio, implying broader monetary policy and thus potentially better market conditions.
Crypto on the move: how Poolder approaches the crypto market
We see that the crypto market remains in full swing. ETFs are becoming mainstream and institutional investors are showing increasing interest. There are important conversations about digital assets at the political level and macroeconomic influence remains strong. The crypto market is evolving rapidly. Poolder is moving with it, with strategies that exploit opportunities rather than just following them. We understand that the crypto market is sensitive to geopolitical and policy developments, which can lead to volatility. Our investment strategy is therefore focused on mitigating risk and pursuing strategic growth, taking into account market fluctuations.
