Now that the $SOL ETF is around the corner, the Solana token is targeting new heights, and another token, $SOLX, stands to ride on its coattails.<\/p>\n<h2>$SOL ETF Is Underway As the SEC Does a 180\u00b0 on Crypto<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the $SOL ETF, the commission acknowledged Grayscale\u2019s Litecoin ($LTC) ETF and several $XRP ETFs, issued by 21Shares, Canary Capital, WisdomTree, and Bitwise.<\/p>\n<p>Both $SOL and $XRP have a history of facing regulatory obstacles, including the SEC explicitly calling them securities. In the case of $XRP, this turned into a five-year-long legal battle.<\/p>\n<p>However, after former SEC chair <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/us-to-ditch-genslers-crypto-regulations-can-solaxy-soar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Gary Gensler<\/a> departed, the regulator took a more pro-crypto stance under Mark Uyeda\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledgment doesn\u2019t yet mean approval, but the SEC is now evidently more accepting of altcoin investment products.<\/p>\n<p>And how could they not be, if even the US President is on board with crypto ETFs?<\/p>\n<p>Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) filed several ETF and SMA (Separately Managed Account) applications on Tuesday, including Truth.Fi Made in America ETF and Truth.Fi Bitcoin Plus ETF.<\/p>\n<p>$SOL is not part of Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/intel.arkm.com\/explorer\/entity\/worldlibertyfi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">World Liberty Financial (WLFI) portfolio<\/a>, but many other <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/best-altcoins-to-invest-in-as-crypto-prices-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">altcoins<\/a> are. TMTG might be testing the waters with its $BTC ETF applications and could file for more investment products in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Could Solaxy ($SOLX) Help Solana Stay Ahead?<\/h2>\n<p>ETF approval would come in handy for $SOL now that its parent ecosystem faces competition from Berachain \u2013 a new Layer-1 network that uses Proof-of-Liquidity for greater scalability.<\/p>\n<p>The $BERA token began trading on exchanges yesterday at $1 and hit $14.99 within mere hours but has since fallen to $7.42. Early adopters are hyped up as 15% of the $BERA supply is set aside for an airdrop.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-390710\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-at-11-46-23-Berachain-price-today-BERA-to-USD-live-price-marketcap-and-chart-CoinMarketCap.png?w=640&amp;resize=700%2C369\" alt=\"Berachain token price\" width=\"700\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-at-11-46-23-Berachain-price-today-BERA-to-USD-live-price-marketcap-and-chart-CoinMarketCap.png?w=923 923w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-at-11-46-23-Berachain-price-today-BERA-to-USD-live-price-marketcap-and-chart-CoinMarketCap.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-at-11-46-23-Berachain-price-today-BERA-to-USD-live-price-marketcap-and-chart-CoinMarketCap.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-at-11-46-23-Berachain-price-today-BERA-to-USD-live-price-marketcap-and-chart-CoinMarketCap.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<p>The project raised over $100M in funding to develop its innovative consensus mechanism.
