There are promising signs that the SEC will indeed approve these applications, with VanEck’s ETH ETF listed yesterday on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) under the ticker symbol ETHV.
While this is obviously bullish for ETH, it will also be highly positive for Solana, and not simply in terms of raising a
