Will VanEck Push for Spot Solana ETF?

During the ongoing Bitcoin conference, VanEck recently shared a tweet stating that a large number of attendees inquired about Solana with them. As we know, VanEck submitted its Solana ETF filing in the last month of June even before the spot Ether ETFs went live. The recent tweet from VanEck suggests that there’s a strong interest in the altcoin and liquidity won’t be a major hurdle for the SEC to approve a Solana ETF.

However, other asset management giants like BlackRock are not much in support of having more Solana ETF or other crypto ETFs in the market. Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference, BlackRock Head of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick said that the SEC would be drawing a line somewhere. He added that apart from Ethereum, all other altcoins contribute less than 5% of the total crypto market cap. Thus, he believes that it makes no sense to have more crypto ETFs in the market.
