Breaking Crypto News – Key Factors Influencing Regulatory Approval for Solana ETF
Breaking Crypto News – ETFs for Solana and other assets are unlikely to be successful, according to Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, managing director and global market strategist at JP Morgan. Panigirtzoglou claimed that the SEC’s latest decision to authorize spot Ethereum ETFs was “already stretched” in a statement on May 27. Even after the approvals, it’s unclear if the SEC views ETH as a commodity or a security. According to Panigirtzoglou, the ambiguity raises questions about additional resources.
We don’t think the SEC would go even further by approving Solana or other token ETFs.

Although such legislation does not already exist, Panigirtzoglou recognized that US lawmakers may draft laws to categorize the majority of cryptocurrencies as non-securities.
Solana ETF Approval Probability is 13%, According to Polymarket
About the prospects of a SOL ETF, other analysts are more upbeat. Though he acknowledged that SOL’s status as a security is a problem, cryptocurrency investor Brian Kelly thinks the approvals of ETH ETFs could boost the chances of a Solana ETF approval.
James Seyffart, a Bloomberg ETF expert, believes that Solana ETFs will be successful in a few years thanks to laws like FIT21 that will define the securities and futures markets. In the same way, he saw Solana’s security status as a possible problem. Prediction market odds are poor, though. According to Polymarket, there is a about 13% possibility that before the end of 2024, the SEC will approve a Solana ETF.
