SEC signals it would reject spot Solana ETF filings and pause new crypto ETF approvals

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reportedly informed at least two prospective ETF issuers that it will reject their applications for a Solana ETF. Sources suggest that the SEC is unlikely to approve any new crypto ETFs under the current administration. This news comes as multiple asset managers seek approval for Solana-based investment products, demonstrating industry-wide interest in bringing these investment vehicles to market. The SEC's position not only affects Solana ETF applications but also a broad range of anticipated crypto ETF applications, including those tracking SOL and XRP. The regulator has previously expressed concerns about Solana's potential classification as a security, which could impact the ETF approval process. In August, the SEC rejected Cboe BZX's filings for two Solana spot ETFs for similar reasons.
