This classification prevents the SEC from evaluating Solana for a commodities-based ETF. Even with a more supportive administration, the SEC\u2019s typical 240\u2013260-day review period could push timelines further.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has pledged to prioritize cryptocurrency innovation, contrasting with the Biden administration\u2019s aggressive enforcement actions against the industry. In 2024, the SEC approved Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs but stalled on applications for altcoin-focused funds, including Solana. Many proposals were effectively dismissed without acknowledgment.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/xrp-price-prediction-for-2025-2030-what-to-expect\/\" title=\"XRP Price Prediction for 2025-2030: What to Expect\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/xrp-rise-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">XRP Price Prediction for 2025-2030: What to Expect<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite regulatory setbacks, some industry experts remain hopeful. Matthew Sigel of VanEck expressed confidence that a Solana ETF could be listed in the U.S. by late 2025. Others view the wave of altcoin ETF filings as speculative bets on a more favorable regulatory environment under Trump\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The future of Solana ETFs highlights the challenges in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
