Crypto ETFs will experience an explosion next year, but most products are unlikely to escape the fate of liquidation.

Bloomberg's ETF analysts predict that the crypto asset management sector will experience an ETF product explosion next year, with over 100 new products potentially launched, but most will struggle to survive. The US SEC currently has 126 ETP applications pending review, with fierce competition and serious product homogenization. A wave of liquidations is expected by the end of 2026 to 2027, and investors should exercise caution when selecting products.

Abstract generation in progress

【BlockBeats】Recently, an interesting viewpoint has been circulating in the industry. Bloomberg’s ETF analyst commented that the crypto asset management sector will see an explosion of ETF products next year—more than 100 new products may launch. Sounds crazy, right? But he also tempered expectations: most of these products won’t last long.

The reason is quite straightforward. Currently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has over 126 ETP applications pending approval. Major issuers are rushing to the market, and products are everywhere. What’s the result? Intense competition, severe homogeneity, and many products simply have no room to survive.

The expected wave of liquidations may begin to appear by the end of 2026, but a more realistic timeline is before 2027. In other words, this is a “big wave washing away the sand”—only the survivors will remain. For investors and industry participants, this means being more cautious in selecting products and avoiding blindly investing in hot but unnecessary ETFs. The market will automatically filter out truly valuable projects.

100 new products? In the end, I guess half of them will die, same old story. Really, these issuers are just stacking up, who cares about product quality? When the liquidation wave hits in 2027, we'll see who was swimming naked. I'm just waiting to see who laughs last, iShares or Grayscale. Honestly, the homogeneity is really extreme, no matter which one you choose, it's the same. Retail investors need to stay sharp and not get caught being the next chives to be cut. After this wave, only about ten leading ones will survive, the rest are just running along. Another round of the big wave of淘沙, cyclical harvesting is coming.

Another prelude to the wave of rug pulls, let's see how many products will turn into trash next year. --- 126 applications piled up... Just a matter of everyone competing to death, and the few big fish are the ones that survive in the end. --- Sounds like a scam, launching new products is just giving retail investors a chance to get wrecked. --- A liquidation wave in 2027? I bet ten ETH that it will happen even earlier. --- With such severe homogenization, why bother launching new products? What's the point? --- Damn, now I have to be extra careful when choosing products. So annoying. --- Basically, it's about grabbing market share, but in the end, they just shoot themselves in the foot. --- The phrase "big waves wash away the sand" sounds nice, but in reality, most will rug.

Great waves wash away the sand, 99% of projects are cannon fodder --- It's the same old story, 100 new products next year, 80 will be liquidated the year after, all internal cuts --- What sounds good is called explosion, but actually it's just a money-raising competition starting --- Investors really need to open their eyes when playing this, don't be fooled by traffic flow --- 126 applications are just lying there, when they all pass at once, that's the real joke --- Isn't this the old trick in the crypto world? Chaos first, then cleanup --- The liquidation wave is coming, which is the real opportunity; the disappearance of trash products is normal operation --- Damn, it's time to select products again, my head is about to explode

Another wave of leek harvesting feast, over 100 new ETFs launched, most of which ended up as cannon fodder. To be honest, I've seen this routine too many times. The big waves wash away the sand sounds impressive, but in the end, retail investors are the ones taking the fall. Will there be a delisting wave before 2027? I think it should start next year, after all, no one wants homogeneous junk products. Isn't this a typical case of bad money driving out good? The ones rushing ahead actually can't survive. When choosing products, be more cautious and don't be fooled by the hype marketing from issuers.

Is this the same old story? Next year 100+ new products, and the year after that, it’s all liquidation? According to this logic, we should have been dead long ago. --- It’s just the big waves washing away the sand. Anyway, I only follow the top players; others can go to hell. --- Wait, is this Bloomberg guy suggesting there’s a chance next year or advising everyone not to get in? I’m a bit confused. --- 126 applications piled up there. It’ll take forever to review, no rush. --- Same old homogenized products still cut the leeks. Don’t overthink it. --- Damn, another wave of liquidation forecast. How many times have I heard this line this year? --- Instead of figuring out who will survive, better to think about how to make some profit in this chaos. --- The market grabbers are really fighting hard. In the end, retail investors are the ones who lose out. --- Liquidation wave? Come on, let’s talk about it when it actually happens. Right now, it’s just a marketing battle.
