Odaily Planet Daily News: Digital asset brokerage and research company K33 has stated that as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) becomes more friendly towards cryptocurrencies, it may approve the launch of new spot altcoin ETFs in the coming months, which will provide investors with some eye-catching long short strategy opportunities. At present, eight institutions have submitted applications for spot Solana (SOL) ETFs, and the SEC has proactively contacted asset management companies, requesting them to include pledge clauses in the updated application documents, indicating that regulatory involvement is increasing and increasing the possibility that Ethereum and Solana ETFs may include pledge functionality. In addition, besides Solana, there are also ETF applications targeting other cryptocurrency assets such as LTC, XRP, and DOGE. (The Block)
