The announcement follows the recent approval of <a href="https://coingape.com/bitwise-debuts-nft-mintable-ethereum-eth-advert/">spot Ethereum ETFs</a>&nbsp;in the U.S., signaling growing regulatory acceptance of cryptocurrency-based investment products. Analysts believe this could pave the way for more diverse crypto ETFs in the future. The filing also highlights 3iQ’s commitment to staying at the forefront of cryptocurrency investment options, potentially attracting more investors. 
<h2 id="strong-sol-etf-could-follow-ethereum-s-lead-strong">SOL ETF Could Follow Ethereum’s Lead</h2> 
With a market capitalization of $61 billion, Solana is the fifth-largest cryptocurrency, trailing only Bitcoin, Ethereum, <a href="https://coingape.com/tether-faces-renewed-terror-and-illicit-finance-allegations/">Tether</a>, and Binance Coin. The introduction of a Solana ETF in Canada could enhance market liquidity and provide a new avenue for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to the asset. 
British bank Standard Chartered has predicted that Solana and XRP might be the following cryptocurrencies to receive ETF approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This prediction is based on the technological similarities between Solana and Ethereum, which could make it challenging for the SEC to classify them differently. 
William Quigley, co-founder of Tether and WAX, suggested that Solana could be the next popular cryptocurrency for ETFs following the successful launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs. He noted that new financial products often lead to similar offerings surging until the market reaches saturation. This trend is evident in the substantial investments already directed towards <a href="https://coingape.com/not-a-single-spot-bitcoin-etf-saw-inflows-on-tuesday-new-outflows-at-152-million/">Bitcoin spot ETFs</a>&nbsp;and the anticipation surrounding the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs.

Globally, Solana exchange-traded products (ETPs) are already well-established, with over $1 billion in assets under management. Providers such as 21Shares, VanEck, and WisdomTree have introduced Solana funds in various markets. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart highlighted Canada’s pioneering role in launching spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs ahead of the U.S., emphasizing the country’s progressive stance on cryptocurrency investments.

 You guys would be stunned to realize we already have over $1 Billion in Solana ETPs elsewhere in the world!! <a href="https://t.co/y3zSZrHJGo">pic.twitter.com/y3zSZrHJGo</a>

In the U.S., the focus remains on the imminent launch of spot Ethereum ETFs, which were unexpectedly approved by the SEC last month. <a href="https://coingape.com/bitwise-ceo-hints-at-major-announcement-spot-ether-etf-launch-likely-by-july-4/">Bitwise</a>, a prominent asset management firm, has started promoting its Ethereum ETF through television advertisements, indicating high expectations for its performance. Analysts predict these funds will go live on July 2, potentially setting a precedent for future cryptocurrency ETFs.
