Solana, Home of Meme Coins, Spot ETF Hopes
There could be several underlying reasons behind this optimism. One of these is the growing popularity of Solana over the past few months.
Developers, especially those working on meme coin projects, are increasingly attracted to the network because of its low fees and excellent scalability. So far, major meme coins with billions of dollars in market capitalization, such as BONK and BOME, are available on Solana.
The recent move by VanEck and 21Shares to apply for a Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) has also received an encouraging response. But there is reason to be optimistic, given recent events involving the Spot Ethereum ETF.
If the Spot Solana ETF is allowed in the United States, institutions will invest in it, pushing the prices even higher.
