Since after the launch of Bitcoin, & Ethereum ETF, a new wave of excitement around the Meme Coin ETF is now building. The idea, fueled for the first time by Crypto trader Vladcoin, is now seen as a real possibility by the Senior ETF analyst of Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas. He believes that there is a strong chance that we could see this unique fund by 2026.
ETF analyst sees a real chance
In response to the idea of Vladcoin to have an ETF that buys and sells meme coins on the basis of how well they perform, buy the promising and selling weaker.
Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said that there is a “really good chance” that an actively managed Meme Coin ETF could exist in the future. However, he added that it would probably take some time to happen.
He expects to see many active crypto-etfs launch against Winter 2025, but a meme coin-all-active ETF comes earlier around 2026.
In the meantime, Polygoon-based prediction market predicts polymarket that Dogecoin ETF will see approval with a probability of 44%.
No Meme Coin ETFs yet
Although we do not yet have a meme coin all-way ETF, the idea is not entirely out of nowhere. Various major assets managers have already launched or submitted Bitcoin and ETFs ETFs, including BlackRock, Fidelity and Vaneck. These funds have been very popular and have brought billions of dollars to assets within a few months.
Some smaller players have also submitted for “crypto basket” ETFs that invest in a mix of digital assets, but so far no one has requested a meme coin-all-out. Yet the idea is interested.
Why minds coins?
Eric believes that meme coins can be perfect for active management. Meme coins such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe are known for their enormous price fluctuations and hype-driven movements. Many have no traditional research or clear basic principles, making it difficult to know which will survive.
Eric also hinted that if this type of ETF comes to life, it could create a new star in the investing world.
