• Ether (ETH) spot ETF approval would set a precedent as the first non-bitcoin digital asset to be considered a commodity
• This raises expectations that Solana (SOL) could also be classified as a commodity
• Ether potentially being deemed a commodity would be momentous for altcoins in general

The SEC approving an ether spot ETF could have big implications for other crypto assets like Solana. This would set a precedent as the first non-bitcoin digital asset classified as a commodity.

If an Ethereum $ETH ETF is passed, who is next?

Ether Spot ETF Approval

The SEC approving an ether ETF would be significant for the crypto industry. Ether would be the first major altcoin to get approval for a spot ETF in the US. This could pave the way for other digital assets to follow.

Solana and Commodity Classification

If ether receives commodity status, it would raise expectations that Solana could follow the same path. Getting classified as a commodity would make it easier for Solana to eventually get approval for its own spot ETF. This would further validate Solana in the eyes of mainstream investors.

Precedent for Altcoins

Ether potentially being deemed a commodity would be momentous for altcoins in general. This would show regulators are becoming more open to considering the top cryptocurrencies as commodities. It gives credence to the idea that assets beyond just bitcoin can serve as stores of value and hedges against inflation.

The Road Ahead

While nothing is guaranteed, an SEC approved ether ETF could be a watershed moment. This would give more legitimacy to ether and by extension lend credibility to other leading altcoins. With this precedent, investors may start expecting spot ETF filings from the likes of Solana as well in the future.
