The SEC’s decision to press pause on a slate of altcoin‐focused ETFs speaks both to its commitment to a meticulous review process and to an underlying wariness of less‐mature crypto assets. While the agency has already green-lit spot Bitcoin and Ethereum products, Solana, XRP, Hedera and Dogecoin carry unique liquidity, custody and market‐manipulation concerns that demand extra scrutiny. In my view, Franklin Templeton’s proposal for a spot Solana ETF is the front‐runner for the next approval: Solana’s on-chain activity, institutional support and growing DeFi ecosystem present a compelling case that aligns with the SEC’s standards for transparency and investor protection. Its relative maturity among alternative tokens makes it the likeliest candidate to clear the remaining regulatory hurdles.
