US SEC Approves Grayscaleās Litecoin and Solana ETF Applications
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved the 19b-4 filings submitted by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to list and trade Grayscaleās Solana and Litecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
On February 6, the regulator asked for public input on the two applications. Comments must be submitted within 21 days of publication in the Federal Register.
First SEC Approval for Solana ETF
Undoubtedly, the SECās approval marks a historic moment for the Solana (SOL) ETF, making it a significant development.
āThis is particularly newsworthy given that the SEC previously denied similar moves in several SOL ETF filings,ā wrote Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart on X.
He also noted that the decision could be a positive signal for exchanges or companies facing SEC lawsuits for classifying Solana as a security. Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett agreed, calling the move āvery important.ā
Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas also agreed, noting the importance of SEC recognition of products tied to digital assets that were previously classified as āsecurities.ā
As such, SEC recognition of Solanaās ETF filing and Grayscaleās Litecoin Trust are positive steps forward. However, regulatory approval is far from certain. Whether the SEC under President Trump will expedite approval of altcoin ETFs remains to be seen.
