Woofun AI data shows that global AI sales revenue from hyperscale and emerging cloud providers reached $25 billion. This figure exceeded the industry's estimated depreciation costs of $21 billion for data center and chip investments for the second consecutive quarter.

Impact Assessment · Quick Read
2026-05-27 09:24Core conclusion: BlackRock's entry raises the estimated approval odds for a SOL ETF from 50% to 75%. SOL has already priced in about 6% of that expectation. The decisive move should follow the 19b-4 filing expected in mid-June and the first SEC feedback window expected in September. A SOL/BTC break above 0.0028 would confirm the trend; a drop below 0.0024 would raise the risk of a sell-the-news pullback. The impact on ETH is neutral to slightly negative as marginal capital becomes more likely to rotate from ETH into SOL.
