Franklin Templeton Enters Solana ETF Race with Delaware Filing
In an astonishing development, Franklin Templeton has joined the Solana ETF rally, submitting documents in the US state of Delaware. By registering the Franklin Solana Trust entity, the asset manager has initiated procedures for its spot Solana ETF launch.
Notably, the move comes following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) acknowledgment of Canary Capital’s Solana ETF application. While many investment firms are vying to launch altcoin ETFs, the community keenly awaits the SEC’s potential moves.
Franklin Templeton Registers Solana ETF in Delaware
In a recent filing, Franklin Templeton, a US-based global investments firm, submitted documents in the US state of Delaware to launch its Solana ETF. As an initial step towards the ETF launch, the asset manager registered the Franklin Solana Trust entity in Delaware, joining the rally of Solana ETFs.
While Franklin Templeton follows the footsteps of several other investment firms, including Grayscale and Canary Capital, this shows the increasing institutional demand for Solana. Commenting on Solana’s growing adoption, FOMO HUNTER, a prominent crypto voice on X, stated,
Solana ETF filings are heating up. Franklin joining the race adds momentum, but remember, regulatory approval is just the start.
What is Franklin Templeton’s Crypto Index ETF?
Recently, Franklin Templeton submitted an amended S-1 filing to the SEC, seeking regulatory approval for its Franklin Templeton Crypto Index ETF.
Although the fund initially plans to track its Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, it will eventually expand to include other altcoins. The platform stated in the filing, “The fund currently may not hold any digital asset other than bitcoin and ether. It is uncertain whether any digital assets other than bitcoin and ether may in the future be added to the Underlying Index.”
However, Franklin Templeton could add new cryptocurrencies to the Crypto Index ETF only after the SEC approved a similar ETP or fund for that asset.
Asset Managers Await SEC Approval for Solana ETFs
Notably, VanEck was the first platform to apply for a Solana ETF back in June 2024. Since then, several platforms, including Grayscale, Canary Capital, Bitwise, and 21Shares joined the rally, filing for spot Solana ETFs.
Last month, the SEC officially acknowledged Grayscale’s 19b-4 filing to list and trade its Solana Trust on NYSE Arca. With this, the SEC has opened a 21-day public comment period on a $102.8 million Solana-based fund. After the comment period, the SEC will decide whether to approve, reject, or further review the application.
In the latest update, the SEC acknowledged Canary Capital’s filing, signaling the regulator’s potential approval of the ETF. However, the SEC’s classification of Solana as an unregistered security casts shadow over the move. According to Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, ETFs for Litecoin and Hedera are more likely to receive SEC approval ahead of those for Solana and XRP.
Solana Price Dips Despite Increasing Institutional Interest
Despite growing institutional interest in Solana, the price continues to dip, currently trading at $196.57. The token has marked notable declines of 3.34% and 9.99% over the last day and last week, respectively.
Boasting a market cap of $95.94 billion, Solana is ranked 5th on CoinMarketCap. However, its 24-hour trading volume contrasts with the increasing institutional demand. Currently, Solana’s volume is recorded at $3.81 billion, down by 14.03%.

Dogecoin’s price is ambling toward the $0.29 mark after a previous correction that saw it erase its gains. While the broader trend for DOGE remains bearish, analysts are confident of a short-term rally to reclaim its one-month high.
Dogecoin Price Targets Breakout To $0.29
As bears stamp their authority in DOGE, there is rippling optimism that the dog-themed cryptocurrency could see a rally. According to an X post by Igor Bondarenko, Dogecoin’s price can go as high as $0.29 in the short term.
Bodarenko hinges his prediction on DOGE approaching its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA). As the dog-themed project inches toward the EMA, pundits say it may be a support level for traders entering the space.
On the flip side, a failure to break the EMA level could spell doom for the beleaguered asset. Per Bondarenko, Dogecoin prices may fall as low as $0.10 in the near future.
“A breakout could drive DOGE to $0.23 and $0.29,” said Bodarenko. “If rejected, a drop below $0.14 could send it to $0.10.
Long-term predictions for Dogecoin prices are fairly upbeat with one analyst predicting DOGE to hit $20 in the coming months. At the moment, Dogecoin price sits at $0.16 and has gained over 6% over the last 7 days.
On-chain Indicators Scream Promise For Dogecoin
While short-term technicals are predicting a small spike in Dogecoin’s value, on-chain indicators are pointing to a seismic leap. For one, DOGE address activity has soared to 1 million unique users with active addresses spiking by 400%.
Furthermore, fundamentals are indicating potential for a rally as high as $50. The filing of a DOGE ETF application by BlackRock may be the trigger for a seismic rally for the memecoin. Other institutional players are watching the space with keen interest as the assets move from memecoin to begin clutching at real-world applications.
Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analysts DOGECAPITAL and Trader Tardigrade remain optimistic in their prediction that DOGE can clinch $80, citing cyclical patterns from 2021.
“If historical trends repeat, Dogecoin is likely to begin its upward reversal soon, entering phase 2 of its parabolic rise,” said DOGECAPITAL

The Cardano price is showing bullish signals as analysts identify a potential double-bottom pattern on its weekly chart. After a prolonged downtrend, the cryptocurrency has entered an accumulation phase, suggesting that selling pressure is easing while buyers begin stepping in. Analysts highlight $0.70 as a key support level, which, if maintained, could drive the altcoin price toward the $1.00 mark.
Cardano Price Forms Double Bottom Pattern, What’s Next?
According to analysts Crypto Lycus, the Cardano price is exhibiting signs of forming a double bottom pattern on the weekly chart. This technical formation typically indicates strong support and suggests a potential reversal from the prolonged bearish trend. The pattern reflects a period where the price has tested a lower boundary twice, signaling that buyers are stepping in at key support levels.
A breakout above $0.70 is crucial for ADA, as sustaining this level could provide the momentum needed for further upward movement. If buying pressure continues to build, the next target for the top altcoin would be the resistance at $1.00.
If ADA fails to hold above the support level, a retest of lower price zones between $0.50 and $0.40 remains a possibility. However, analysts suggest that the overall sentiment remains optimistic, with accumulation taking place at current levels.
ADA Breaks Out of Descending Wedge
Additionally, analyst AMCryptoAlex has identified a descending wedge breakout on the Cardano price chart, reinforcing bullish momentum. This pattern is often associated with a reversal, where a downward-sloping trendline meets a narrowing support base before an eventual breakout to the upside.
Following a prolonged consolidation, Cardano has successfully breached resistance, confirming a potential trend shift. The breakout has been accompanied by increased trading volume, further validating the move. Investors are closely watching whether the price can sustain this newfound strength or encounter resistance at higher levels.
If bullish momentum continues, the top altcoin may establish a new support base, paving the way for higher price targets.
Market Sentiment Remains Optimistic
Although most other cryptos are trading in a bearish territory dragged by changes in market trends Cardano has been relatively stable. Some of the altcoins have reversed lower in their gains, but ADA has remained rather resilient which signal massive investor interest.
Analysts note that the absence of heavy selling at the current prices indicates that buyers are holding on to their positions. Backing the bulls’ argument, ADA whales have remained confident by holding 40 million ADA. This large-scale purchase indicates that institutional investors are beginning to invest; this could indeed take the Cardano price to the $1 level that many expect.
Traders are watching $ 0.70 as the pivotal support level. Reaching and maintaining above it might comprise the Cardano price reaching the $1 mark. Further upward movement may be signified by a successful breach of this level, which will give conformation of a trend reversal.

Crypto analyst Amonyx has predicted that the XRP price could reach as high as $20. The analyst alluded to the XRP ETFs, which could launch soon as the fundamentals that will spark such a parabolic rally for XRP.
XRP Price To Reach $20 With 18 ETFs On The Horizon
In an X post, Amonyx predicted that the XRP price could reach $20 while noting that eighteen XRP ETF filings have now been submitted to the US SEC. These include filings from asset managers such as Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares, Canary Capital, and WisdomTree, all of whom have filed to offer a Spot XRP ETF.
These XRP ETFs undoubtedly provide a bullish outlook for XRP, considering that these funds will drive institutional funds into the crypto’s ecosystem and ultimately spark a parabolic price surge, as Amonyx predicts.
A recent CoinGape market analysis also suggested that the Ripple price could rally to $20 if the US SEC approves the altcoin ETFs this year. The analysis indicated that approval of the ETFs could be a catalyst for XRP to break above the resistance levels at $5 and $10 as it rallies to this price target.
It is worth mentioning that crypto analyst Steph also recently predicted that XRP could reach $30. The analyst made this prediction based on historical patterns and technical indicators. He also revealed that the altcoin has broken above the neckline resistance, confirming a bullish double-bottom breakout.
Price Correction Is Over
In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender stated that the primary correction on the weekly, daily frame, and 4-hour structure is over for the XRP price. He warned that there would be more minor ups and downs but suggested that the worst was over. The analyst added that XRP has started Wave 1 with an aim of $5.85, which will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin.
The analyst stated that the support levels are $2.30 and $2.22, while the major resistance levels are $3.39 and $5.85. He affirmed that the upcoming week would be fantastic, suggesting a price breakout could happen this week.
Crypto analyst CasiTrades highlighted $2.70 and $3.05 as resistance levels to watch. She remarked that the XRP price would need to break above these targets for confirmation of the next wave up.
Meanwhile, although the analyst admitted that the altcoin is holding strong at the $2.25 support level, she warned that a break below could cause XRP to touch the lower support at $1.90 or even drop further to as low as $1.54.
Despite this bullish outlook for XRP, legal expert Bill Morgan recently warned that the Ripple SEC case could still negatively impact the altcoin’s price. Without a settlement in place, the case could still create uncertainty, which would dampen investors’ confidence.
