But with the new standards in place, that process no longer applies in the same way. Instead, final approval now rests on the S-1 registration statements, which require sign-off from the SEC\u2019s Division of Corporation Finance.<\/p>\n<p>As of Sep. 30, a number of ETF issuers had already submitted amended filings with the commission to align with the new standards, which just leaves the S-1 approvals from the Division of Corporation Finance as the final step before launch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe baby could come any day. Be ready,\u201d Balchunas added.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEC withdraws delay notices for crypto ETFs<\/h1>\n<p>The cryptocurrency community has long awaited the approval of altcoin-based ETFs ever since the commission approved Ethereum spot ETFs last year. At least nine issuers have filed to launch Solana ETFs, with others pushing for products tied to XRP (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), and Cardano (ADA).<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the SEC had been delaying decisions on these proposals under the traditional 19b-4 review process. However, on Sep. 29, the commission withdrew all remaining delay notices tied to these applications, which provided further confirmation that the regulators were preparing to issue final decisions without further holdups.<\/p>\n<p>With October now being dubbed \u201cETF Month\u201d by market watchers, expectations are high that a wave of altcoin ETF approvals could arrive within weeks.<\/p>\n<p>According to analysts at crypto.news, if a Solana ETF is approved, it could provide the necessary catalyst that drives SOL towards $260. When writing, SOL was trading at $210.61, up 1.1% on the day.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana ETF approval odds are now at 100% according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
