According to Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg ETF analyst, there is a strong likelihood that a range of actively managed crypto ETFs will debut by Winter 2025, with active meme coin-only ETFs potentially following in 2026. Balchunas highlights that significant return dispersion and limited sell-side coverage in the crypto sector create a favorable environment for active management strategies, which could lead to standout fund managers. These developments are important for traders, as active crypto ETFs could introduce new volatility and liquidity to the market, especially in trending segments like meme coins.
