Bitcoin’s initial run this year, aided by the launch of the first U.S. spot ETFs in January, saw it hit a new high of $73,798 by March. However, demand and price have subsequently slowed, and Bitcoin’s performance is being overshadowed by increased interest in Ethereum and Solana. 
ETF excitement is responsible for Solana’s recent rise, especially when exchange-traded fund company VanEck applied for a cryptocurrency-based product.&nbsp; 
The SOL token experienced its largest spike since late May after <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/27/vaneck-seeks-solana-etf-in-us-calls-sol-a-commodity/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VanEck filed the necessary paperwork</a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the new Solana ETF. The boost reached as high as 11%. 
The VanEck Solana Trust is the company’s newest product and the first Solana ETF to be registered in the US. This submission comes after <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/24/sec-finally-approves-ethereum-spot-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spot Ether (ETH) ETFs were approved</a> by the SEC for the United States on May 23, 2024.
