Saylor says ADA, XRP, ETH will never have spot ETFs

During the recent Bitcoin for Corporations 2024 event, Michael Saylor, founder and chairman of MicroStrategy, made a bold statement about the future of altcoins. He predicted that this summer, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will label Ethereum as a security, not a commodity. Furthermore, he believes that other altcoins like BNB, Solana, XRP, and Cardano will also be deemed unregistered securities by the SEC. Saylor also suggested that Wall Street firms will never show interest in these altcoins, and as a result, they will never have spot ETFs. His comments echo the sentiments of many Bitcoin maximalists, who often view Bitcoin as the only legitimate cryptocurrency and all others as centralized unregistered securities.
