Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart noted that it’s uncertain if the first Solana ETF application in the U.S. will prompt other issuers to follow. If there is a change in leadership at the White House and the SEC, the Solana ETF might not launch until sometime in 2025.
In response to this Solana spot ETF application, GSR, which has a significant investment in Solana, published a small report to drag attention toward the recent shift in the political climate surrounding cryptocurrencies, including Solana.
Report noted that Crypto has rapidly become a potentially divisive issue in the upcoming US presidential election between the current Democratic president Joe Biden and the likely Republican candidate, former president Donald Trump.
The report highlights that Donald Trump’s new support for the crypto industry has led Democrats to soften their stance on digital assets during a competitive election year.
This shift has led to bipartisan support for crypto-friendly legislation, such as overturning the SEC’s SAB 121 accounting policy and passing the FIT21 digital asset regulatory framework in the House.
GSR’s analysis includes an “ETF Possibility Score” based on decentralisation and potential demand. Solana scored well on both metrics, ranking just behind Ethereum.
The report stated that Solana is likely to be the next approved spot digital asset ETF in the U.S. if additional ones are permitted.
