Solana (SOL) is aiming to be included in a spot Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), marking a significant development for the altcoin. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a deadline of mid-March 2025 to review the ETF applications, including those of Solana. The current market situation sees Solana holding steady in the $140 range amidst positive market conditions.

Solana's Path to a Spot ETF

The anticipation of Solana's price surge is growing, especially with the news of the first spot ETF application by VanEck with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). Another player, 21Shares, has also entered the race for a spot ETF approval. However, the ultimate decision lies with the SEC, which has until mid-March 2025 to make a determination.

The chances of an altcoin like Solana securing a spot ETF approval are still slim, considering the potential implications for the crypto market. Ethereum's successful ETF approval has set a precedent for other altcoins, showcasing a positive outlook for Solana's future.

The recent bullish momentum in Solana's market is evident through the MACD indicator, indicating a strengthening bullish trend. Currently priced at around $140, Solana is showing resilience by bouncing back from the $126 support level, facing it for the sixth time in five months. The next target for SOL is to surpass $150 and establish it as a solid support level.

Achieving this milestone would pave the way for further growth, enabling Solana to overcome the resistance at $156 and recover from its recent losses.
