Solana

Roger Baston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, recently discussed the future of cryptocurrency investments and the potential of Solana (SOL) as a candidate for an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).&nbsp; 
In an interview with Bloomberg, Baston explained that Franklin Templeton aims to make investing in cryptocurrencies simpler and more accessible. He remained positive when asked about the new spot Ethereum ETF and its performance.&nbsp; 
“We’re still in the early stages of making crypto investments easier for everyone,” Baston said in the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-07-30/super-early-in-making-crypto-easy-to-access-franklin-templeton-s-bayston" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">interview</a>. 
He acknowledged that while Ethereum has not yet reached the level of recognition as Bitcoin, it holds considerable promise due to its advanced network capabilities. This potential for addressing issues within the decentralized finance ecosystem makes it a noteworthy investment, despite its current volatility. 
Baston also talked about Solana, noting its efficiency and potential for growth. He hinted that Franklin Templeton is considering creating a Solana ETF as part of their strategy to explore different blockchain projects. This idea aligns with Franklin Templeton’s approach of evaluating blockchain projects based on their merits and investor interest.&nbsp; 
Moreover, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently revised its complaint against Binance, removing Solana from its list of securities. This change could open the door for a Solana ETF. 
While Ethereum ETFs have had a mixed start, with some funds losing value as Ether prices fell, some new funds have attracted significant investments.&nbsp; 
For instance, BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF received $500 million, and Bitwise’s ETHW and Fidelity’s FETH gained $276 million and $244 million, respectively. Franklin Templeton’s EZET also saw $26 million in new investments, showing a growing interest in their products. 
On the other hand, Grayscale’s ETHE faced big outflows, totaling $1.5 billion. It seems like the high fees and a shift toward cheaper options have led investors to pull their money out of the fund.&nbsp;
