Bloomberg ETF Analyst Backs Bitwise’s 100+ Crypto ETFs by 2026, Warns Many Could Liquidate by 2027
COINOTAG News notes that Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated he agrees with Bitwise’s forecast of more than 100 crypto ETFs launching by 2026, reflecting ongoing demand for digital-asset exposure. He cautions, however, that many ETP products may struggle to survive as competition intensifies.
While the bullish thesis persists, Seyffart projects a wave of crypto ETPs liquidations by late 2026 or into 2027 as issuers saturate the market. The analyst warns that weakly structured offerings and thin liquidity could hasten closures in a crowded environment.
There is a substantial pipeline: as of now, more than 126 ETP applications await decision from the U.S. SEC, underscoring a regulatory backlog that can influence launch timetables and market liquidity.
For investors, the call is clear: seek regulated, transparent ETPs with robust custody and precise tracking, as the sector matures and due diligence becomes essential to risk management.
