A renowned ETF expert recently commented on the possibility of approving a Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in cash. Bloomberg Intelligence research analyst James Seyffart expressed his views on the matter during a recent interview with Michelle Makori of Kitco News.
When asked about market speculation about the possibility of a Solana-based ETF, Seyffart highlighted some recent comments from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, in which he suggested that cryptocurrencies SOL and XRP could be next to seek ETF approval. .
“The SEC has no problem calling Solana a security at this point,” Seyffart highlighted, highlighting the current scenario with the lawsuits involving cryptocurrency exchanges, Kraken and Coinbase, where the Solana token was mentioned. In his comments, the experts highlighted that classifying cryptos as bonds or commodities is a major obstacle on the path to ETF approval.
However, even with the current dynamic landscape in politics and regulation, the analyst shared his prediction that a Solana ETF is unlikely to be approved before 2026.
XRP, Cardano, Solana ETFs are ‘inevitable’, believes Brad Garlinghouse
In the dynamic universe of cryptocurrencies, some speculation has been shaking the sector following the approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs): the launches of ETFs for other cryptocurrencies. Emphasizing this issue, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted his optimism with the approval of an XRP spot ETF in the US.
Furthermore, the executive also believes in the approval of ETFs for important altcoins, such as Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA). Garlinghouse’s statement took place during the Consensus 2024 conference amidst a scenario of changing regulatory perspectives on the sector.
Even with all the obstacles imposed on the sector, the recent approval of Ethereum ETFs marked a major change and evolution in the industry in the US. “I think it’s just a matter of time and it’s inevitable that there will be an XRP ETF, that there will be a Solana ETF, that there will be a Cardano ETF, and that’s great,” Garlinghouse highlighted.
