Odaily Planet Daily News - Digital asset brokerage and research firm K33 said that as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) becomes more friendly to cryptocurrencies, it may approve the launch of new spot altcoin ETFs in the coming months, which will provide investors with some compelling long and short strategy opportunities. Eight institutions have submitted applications for the spot Solana (SOL) ETF. The SEC has proactively contacted asset management companies and asked them to include pledge clauses in updated application documents, indicating that the involvement of regulators is increasing and increasing the possibility that Ethereum and Solana ETFs may include pledge functions. In addition, in addition to Solana, there are ETF applications for other crypto assets such as LTC, XRP and DOGE. (The Block)
