Franklin Templeton, a major asset management firm with $1.64 trillion in assets, has recently shown interest in Solana (SOL), sparking rumors about a possible spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The company recently launched an Ethereum ETF, which attracted $13.2 million in initial investments, and its Bitcoin ETF now holds over $450 million. This move towards Solana indicates a strategic effort to diversify beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Franklin Templeton has highlighted Solana’s significant adoption and technological advancements, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is poised for further growth. This positive stance has led to speculation that Franklin Templeton might soon file for a Solana ETF, joining other firms like VanEck and 21Shares in exploring this opportunity.
