In 2025, at the start of the year, the SEC was still suing a major project. But by the end of the year, spot XRP ETFs had already begun trading, and the landscape had completely changed.
It's not just XRP. Spot ETFs for SOL, HBAR, and LTC also launched one after another. What's even more interesting is that crypto index ETFs have also appeared, including holdings of major coins such as ADA, SUI, DOT, LINK, and others.
Such changes were hard to imagine two or three years ago. From regulatory crackdowns to a richer product lineup, and then to the influx of institutional funds, the maturity of the entire ecosystem is accelerating. Personally, I believe that in 2026, cryptocurrencies could truly achieve broader mainstream adoption. In the new year, let's all work hard together!

We were still in lawsuits at the beginning of the year, and by the end of the year, ETFs are everywhere—this turnaround is just too satisfying!

Haha, the SEC's pace of change is really outrageous. At the beginning of the year, they were cracking down, and by the end of the year, they're giving out sweet treats.
Hop on quickly, 2026 might really be able to break the circle.

Really? The SEC's attitude has taken a big turn, and the pace is a bit fast.

Haha, this transformation is truly amazing. At the beginning of the year, we were fighting in court, and by the end of the year, ETFs are everywhere...
Institutions have really entered, it's not just talk.
XRP turns the tide and sings, other coins are also riding the wave. This wave of regulation has shifted from suppression to embrace, and the pace is so fast it's a bit crazy.
Index ETFs are directly packaging and selling a bunch of coins. What's the next even more outrageous thing?
Can 2026 really break the circle? It feels like something is still missing...
It's called maturity in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's just being domesticated by capital. Anyway, making money is the boss.
