Solana ETF Approval Hinges on CME Futures Launch, Says CF Benchmarks CEO

CF Benchmarks CEO Sui Chung shared his views on the much-anticipated Solana ETF in a recent interview with DL News. According to Chung, the approval of a Solana ETF is still a distant prospect in the current regulatory landscape. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has consistently emphasized the need for a regulated futures market before approving a spot ETF. This suggests that the launch of Solana futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is a crucial milestone that must be achieved before the SEC considers approving a Solana ETF.
