Solana

Spot

<p>Now that the spot Ethereum ETFs have traded for almost a week on Wall Street, investors are keenly eyeing the next crypto ETF and gunning for the second-largest altcoin Solana. Interestingly, asset management giant VanEck is once again teasing the possibility of introducing a spot Solana ETF.</p> 
<h2 id="will-vaneck-push-for-spot-solana-etf">Will VanEck Push for Spot Solana ETF?</h2> 
<p>During the ongoing Bitcoin conference, VanEck recently shared a tweet stating that a large number of attendees inquired about Solana with them. As we know, VanEck submitted its Solana ETF filing in the last month of June even before the <a href="https://coingape.com/ethereum-foundation-moves-92500-eth-ether-etf-outflows-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Ether ETFs</a> went live. The recent tweet from VanEck suggests that there’s a strong interest in the altcoin and liquidity won’t be a major hurdle for the SEC to approve a Solana ETF.</p>

<p>However, other asset management giants like BlackRock are not much in support of having more <a href="https://coingape.com/blackrock-crypto-chief-denies-chances-of-solana-xrp-etf-approval/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solana ETF</a> or other crypto ETFs in the market. Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference, BlackRock Head of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick said that the SEC would be drawing a line somewhere. He added that apart from Ethereum, all other altcoins contribute less than 5% of the total crypto market cap. Thus, he believes that it makes no sense to have more crypto ETFs in the market.</p>
