After the approval of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin and Ethereum in the US, there is speculation about whether Solana will be the next cryptocurrency to receive approval. Solana, the fifth-largest cryptoasset by market cap, is seen as a potential candidate due to its similarities to Ethereum and its reputable market cap. However, there are concerns about potential manipulation and the legal status of Solana. Brazil has approved a Solana ETF, but the performance of Ethereum's ETFs has been disappointing, which may impact Solana's chances of approval. The SEC has already rejected a request for a Solana ETF, although there is hope from potential issuers that a change in leadership or market conditions could improve the outlook. A potential path forward for Solana is a futures ETF regulated by the CFTC instead of the SEC. Overall, while a Solana ETF seems unlikely in the near future, the fight for approval is ongoing.
