Crypto ETFs 'worst' in 2025 for UK investors says Morningstar

Crypto ETFs have been named the worst-performing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) available to UK buyers this year.

That’s according to financial analysts Morningstar, which found VanEck’s £203 million ($259 million) Crypto & Blockchain Innovators ETF was the worst-performing in quarter one of 2025, losing 39.34% of its funds. 

VanEck was followed by Global X’s Blockchain ETF, iShares’ Blockchain Technology ETF, and WisdomTree’s Blockchain ETF, which lost 37.65%, 30.92%, and 25.80% of their funds, respectively. 

Rounding out the worst-performing ETFs were uranium, AI, semiconductor, and cloud computing-based funds.

Yesterday, Morningstar also shared that the majority of the best-performing ETFs available to UK investors were made up of gold-based investments, with the top three being L&G’s Gold Mining ETF, UBS Solactive Global Pure Gold Miners ETF, and iShares’s Gold Producers ETF. 

According to crypto analyst Lookonchain, in the US, 10 different bitcoin (BTC) ETFs experienced a collective outflow on Monday of almost $152 million, as the fallout from Donald Trump’s tariff announcement continued to shake the markets. 

They then experienced a further outflow of over $44 million a day later.

Ripple to unlock 1 billion XRP on November 1, 2025

Ripple will release 1 billion XRP from escrow on November 1, 2025, continuing its scheduled monthly unlock.  At today’s price of $2.48, the tranche carries a notional value of $2.48 billion. The release lands at a pivotal moment for the token. The SEC faces a cluster of XRP ETF deadlines in late October and early November, with a decision on Grayscale’s filing expected by October 29. A post-shutdown approval wave, analysts say, could mirror the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF rollouts that have already attracted more than $150 billion in inflows. Since XRP now enjoys legal clarity as a non-security, approval could act as a structural demand catalyst, offsetting the near-term impact of fresh supply from escrow.
