XRP and Solana: The great shift in crypto ETFs in 2025

October and November were hard for crypto traders. December is now adding more trouble. Many people feel stressed as the year ends. The market value dropped 33 percent since October. The total value is now 2.93 trillion dollars. This is the lowest point since April.

Bitcoin is staying stronger than other coins. It trades near 88,200 dollars right now. Other assets like Solana and XRP dropped 20 percent this week. Some traders think these smaller coins might crash soon. They hope a fast rise follows the fall.

Global news is part of the problem. Japan raised its interest rates to 0.75 percent. This move made many investors nervous. Bitcoin rose a bit after the update. But most people are still worried. Social media shows a lot of fear. Posts on Reddit and X focus on selling. This much fear often means a price jump is near.

Big firms are still putting money into Bitcoin ETFs. They added 457 million dollars recently. Companies like Fidelity are buying more despite the risks. They seem to expect a better market soon. This differs from Ethereum, which saw money leave.

By the end of 2025, XRP and Solana ETFs gained many fans. They now manage over 1 billion dollars. XRP is popular because its legal status is clear. It works well for sending money. Solana is growing because its network is fast for apps.

Investors are shifting their money. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs lost billions in recent weeks. Buyers are looking for coins that have clear uses. XRP and Solana are top choices right now.

Experts think 2026 will be a good year. Some say XRP could reach 4 dollars. Solana might climb to 350 dollars. Growth in their systems should help prices stay high. Big banks and firms are starting to agree. This shows how much things are changing.
