- Top executive Nate Geraci has predicted that we could see a spot ETF that combines Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana into one, in the coming months.
- Solana, despite being the fifth largest cryptocurrency has emerged as a leading candidate to have an ETF approved by the SEC.
Nate Gerace, the president of The ETF Store, has shared an intriguing thought that has captivated the crypto community. According to the president, the market could soon witness the launch of a combined spot ETF for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The executive further adds that this could be a major catalyst for a bull run.
With the launch of a spot Bitcoin ETF at the start of the year and the imminent approval of an Ethereum spot ETF this week, experts agree that more crypto ETFs will enter the market. Solana, in particular, is a leading candidate to be approved by the U.S. SEC. Financial giants such as VanEck have already filed for a Solana ETF, signaling great institutional interest.
Nate Gerace reveals that the market is ripe for a combined ETF and further states that it’s headed towards index-based & actively managed crypto ETFs.

With most investors looking to diversify their portfolios but to do so in a non-complex financial product, a combined ETF could offer the best solution. This means a broader range of assets, reduced risk, and increased investment appeal.
However, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum which are completely unique in nature, Solana shares a remembrance of Ethereum, bearing the name “Ethereum killer” from its community. This could lead to a conflict of interest among some investors.
A launch of such an ETF could be a catalyst for a bull market. This can be based on the popularity of BTC after the launch of its spot ETF that drove prices to an all-time high of $74,000 in the weeks that followed. Similar demand for ETH has been witnessed ahead of a possible approval of multiple ether spot ETFs. Some experts have predicted an all-time high of $5,000 in the weeks following the approval.
Bitcoin, Ethereum & Solana Poised to Rally After ETF Launch
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s BTC is trading for $67, 680 after a 1% gain at the start of the month. This sees the premier crypto asset extend its weekly gains by nearly 8%. This price change comes after a volatile period in which the German government dumped its stash on the market leading to a price drop and retest of the $58,000 support.
The second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (ETH), is at the time of writing $3,505 after a marginal gain. ETH extends its weekly gains to 4%. Institutional demand for the altcoin is reaching peak levels as many anticipate FOMO will play a role in the token price surge.
Solana’s SOL, on the other hand, has witnessed a 4.5% surge in the last 24 hours, placing it as one of the top performers in the market. Trading for $180, some experts have tipped the altcoin to reach as high as $1,000 once its ETF is approved.
