The recent filings by VanEck and 21Shares for the first-ever Solana-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States have sent shockwaves through the crypto community, with SOL price surging over 16% in the past week.

VanEck's filing, announced by its head of digital asset research Matthew Sigel, expressed optimism that the application will be approved, making VanEck the first digital asset manager to offer a SOL-based ETF. 21Shares quickly followed suit, filing its own Solana ETF application just a day later.

These developments come on the heels of the SEC's recent approval of the first Bitcoin ETFs and its preparations to give the green light for Ethereum ETFs in the United States. Experts believe the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election could be a key factor in the approval of Solana ETFs.

As the crypto community eagerly awaits the potential approval of Solana ETFs, investors are turning their attention to the thriving meme coin scene on the Solana blockchain. Two tokens to watch are Sealana (SEAL) and Mega Dice (DICE).

Sealana, a humorous Solana-based meme coin, recently concluded its presale, raising over $6 million. The project has gained attention for its engaging social media presence and references to pop culture. Mega Dice, a regulated Telegram casino and betting platform built on Solana, has launched its native token DICE, offering investors a daily return from the platform's revenue.

With the potential approval of Solana ETFs on the horizon and the growing popularity of Solana meme coins, the Solana ecosystem is poised for a bullish run. Investors are closely monitoring these developments and eagerly anticipating the next big winners in the Solana meme coin space.
