‘Altcoins Are Coming to Wall Street’: Anthony Pompliano Speaks on Solana ETF

As an experienced financial analyst with a background in cryptocurrencies, I find VanEck’s proposal to launch a Solana ETF an exciting development. This move follows the recent SEC approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, indicating a growing trend towards digital assets in traditional finance.


An investment firm based in New York, VanEck, is generating buzz with its plan to introduce a new Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) focused on Solana (SOL). Named the VanEck Solana Trust, this fund aims to offer investors direct access to SOL by calculating its value each day based on prices from selected markets.

In keeping with the current trend set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with its recent approval of Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and the ongoing evaluation process for Ethereum spot ETFs, such as the one being proposed by VanEck.

Anthony Pompliano, a well-known figure in the industry, used the ETF filing as evidence that altcoins are gaining traction on Wall Street. According to Pompliano, cryptocurrencies are increasing market volatility and risk, suggesting that an increasing number of institutions are exploring investment opportunities beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The application by VanEck for an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) based on Solana is a clear indication that the world of altcoins is gaining traction on Wall Street.

As a researcher, I’ve come across James Seyffart’s perspective on the VanEck Solana ETF application. Unlike some other analysts, Seyffart sounded a note of caution. He highlighted the possibility of regulatory obstacles that could delay the launch of this new ETF. Even though VanEck has filed the necessary paperwork, Seyffart warned that the political landscape might influence the timeline for approval.

Based on his statement, the formal 19b-4 filing needed for establishing a definite schedule isn’t ready yet. Consequently, the launch could potentially occur as late as mid-March 2025.

Moving forward, some uncertainty surrounds the regulatory landscape and the potential approval timetable for various altcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) applications. A crucial aspect to monitor is how market conditions and investor attitudes may evolve as an increasing number of altcoin ETF proposals are under review.
