Solana spot ETF up next if Ethereum ETF is approved: analyst

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends and historical patterns, I can’t help but be excited about the potential approval of a Solana spot ETF. The recent surge in interest around Ethereum’s possible ETF approval has not only driven up its price but also shone a spotlight on Solana as the next logical contender.


As cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gain more acceptance, there’s a growing likelihood that Solana could be the next digital asset to secure a place in the SPOT ETF market.

There’s been buzz around the possible approval of an Ethereum-based Spot Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), leading to a surge in Ethereum’s (ETH) price and increased attention towards Solana (SOL) as a potential candidate for ETF inclusion. Should the trend of crypto ETF approvals persist, it seems only natural that Solana could be next in line for such recognition.

Solana spot ETF ‘next in line’

“Instead of ‘buying Bitcoin ETF’, I advocate for ‘buying SOL/ETH‘. This proposal might seem far-fetched and against the prevailing sentiment. The rationale is: 1) Solana (SOL) could potentially be the next top contender if an Ethereum ETF gains approval.”

In the last 24 hours, Ethereum’s price has surged by over 20%, causing a ripple effect in the larger altcoin market. Notable cryptocurrencies like Solana and XRP have similarly seen substantial growth.

Bigger profits amidst less competition

Based on my analysis of Yan’s X post, I identified a pattern in the market where the approval of a Bitcoin ETF has historically led to heightened attention and investment in Ethereum. Yan implied that if Ethereum were to secure an ETF, it could potentially result in increased interest in Solana as well, potentially causing its price to rise.

Yan proposed that it could be more advantageous to invest in Solana than Ethereum due to its potential for higher returns. With fewer competitors in the Solana market, opportunities for substantial profits abound. This is potentially amplified if investors begin moving their resources towards Solana following significant advancements in Ethereum. Such a transition may occur imminently, triggered by the SEC’s upcoming decision on an Ethereum ETF.

The SEC’s upcoming deadline to rule on a spot Ether ETF is on May 23.

At the time of writing, SOL traded at $176.08.
