<p>Amid the ongoing mass adoption of digital assets led by institutional investors, VanEck, one of the issuers of spot Bitcoin ETFs, has filed the first Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets research at VanEck US, the firm filed a Solana ETF with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 27, Thursday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Following the recent approval of spot Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, market pundits believe that it is a matter of time before the SEC approves similar products from the altcoin industry. Moreover, there is a genuine high demand for altcoins by institutional investors seeking to diversify their crypto portfolio.</p>

<p>According to Sigel, the Solana network has grown into a popular web3 ecosystem with nearly $4 billion in total value locked (TVL). With nearly $4 billion in stablecoins market cap, the Solana network has attracted more web3 developers as shown by its vibrant meme coins.</p>
<p>The recent announcement by the US SEC that it will no longer investigate Ethereum for securities law violations has increased the altcoins’ credibility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Following the announcement, the SOL price against the US dollar surged more than 9 percent to trade around $149 at the time of this writing. While the final ruling on the Solana ETF will take place in 2025, with a possibility of a new U.S. government, it is now evident that Wall Street is ready for the altcoin industry.</p>
