Crypto Czar

<ul>
 <li><strong>The U.S. SEC is set to reject two of the five Solana ETF applications, creating uncertainty around SOL’s ability to reach its $300 price target.</strong></li>
 <li><strong>Despite the setbacks under the current administration, optimism for Solana ETFs is rising, fueled by potential regulatory changes under a pro-crypto Trump administration.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>A report has revealed that the U.S. SEC won’t be approving two of the five prospective Solana ETFs.&nbsp; The burgeoning ETF industry, while seeing significant growth, is encountering a hurdle under the current administration.</p>
<p>According to the report, the U.S. SEC has notified the 2 anonymous ETF issuers that it would be rejecting their 19b-4 filings.</p>
<p>This development could derail SOL’s upward trajectory, potentially preventing it from reaching the projected $300 price target. Additionally, a fierce battle for the 5th position ensues as the token wages war against BNB’s market cap.</p>

<p>With that in mind, as per our previous reports , the five applicants include VanEck, 21Shares, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/new-solana-etf-application-filed-by-canary-capital-as-vaneck-still-in-play/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Canary capitals,</a> and <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/bitwise-files-for-first-solana-etf-amidst-growing-crypto-investment-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitwise</a>. Additionally, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/solana-price-targets-400-as-grayscale-files-for-solana-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grayscale</a> also applied to convert its Solana Trust into an ETF.</p>
<p>Additionally, the journalist added that industry veterans believe that the U.S regulatory body high chance than not is unlikely to approve any new cryptocurrency ETFs under the current (Biden) administration.</p>
<p>A user on X countered Terret, arguing that approval remains likely. In response, the journalist said ““The SEC won’t approve just one or a couple and not the others. Remember the bitcoin ETFs? Eleven launched on the same day”.</p>
<p>However, in this case, grass might be greener on the other side. A few factors stay in favor of the already applied ETFs. For starters, market participants believe that their would be a friendlier crypto environment under the new administration( Pro-crypto Donald Trump). Secondly, industry veterans anticipate significant developments once Paul Atkins assumes the role of US SEC Chair in January.</p>

  <blockquote>

    No surprise, but won’t be any movement on spot crypto ETF filings until new leadership in place… Lame duck

   <p>Nate Geraci further noted that the SEC recently acknowledged the Bitwise Crypto Index ETF, which includes a 4% allocation to Solana.</p>
   <p>Meanwhile, optimism among crypto industry participants for a Solana ETF approval has grown, spurred by the appointment of David Sachs as the AI and Crypto Czar in the White House. President-elect Donald Trump confirmed the news via his Truth Social platform.</p>
   <p>While other altcoins rallied, sparking altcoin season, SOL remained stagnant around its $240 resistance.</p>
   <p>At the time of writing, SOL is swapping hands with <span class="sc-65e7f566-0 WXGwg base-text" data-test="text-cdp-price-display">$239.77</span> representing a 2.40% surge in the past 24 hours.
