Solana ETF applications integrate staking-probability of admission at 91%
- Solana ETF applications now contain a staking model, which increases the chances of approval this year to 91%.
- The SEC takes time, but the conversations with the issuers indicate a possible approval of the Solana ETF at the beginning of the 4 quarter.
In the changed Solana ETF applications, the staking option was added, a function with which the SEC concerns are to be cleared out. Leading companies, including Investco and Galaxy Digital, have entered the ETF race, while polymarket retailers bet strongly for admission in 2025.
The SEC takes time and there are conversations between issuers and regulatory authorities. Market analysts consider the beginning of the fourth quarter to be the most likely time window for a decision.
Solana ETF applications supplemented by staking
The issuers of Solana-ETFs have adjusted your applications to incorporate staking functions. Loud Reuters Bitwise, Grayscale, Canary Capital and other issuers have submitted updated applications with built-in staking mechanisms. These provisions would enable ETFs to generate premiums from the stacking of the kept Sol-token.
The step comes after the SEC continues to delay decisions about several Altcoin ETF applications. James Seyffart von Bloomberg explained that the current phase contains a back and forth between the authority and the issuers, similar to the process that led to the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024. He pointed out that there was a lot of applications in the months before the approval of the BTC ETF.
Have investco and galaxy digital asset management itselfrecently connected to the list of companies that want to put on Solana ETFs. On June 12, 2025, the companies registered the “Investco Galaxy Solana ETF” as a domestic trust company in Delaware. This indicates that you will probably prepare to submit a formal S-1 to the SEC shortly.
The other participants in the area of Solana ETFs include FidelityVanEck, Franklin TempletonGrayscale, 21Shares und Canary Capital. Grayscalethat already runs a Solana Trust, wants to convert it into a fully regulated ETF. However, the SEC has postponed its decision on this application last month.
Analysts: SEC takes your time, but is not against it
Although the SEC has not yet approved a spot ETF beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, the current developments indicate that it could warm up for old coins. According to Seyffart, the talks between the ETF hopes and the SEC now include specific points such as returns in the form of benefits in kind and the handling of operational rewards within the ETF structures. He noted that these are early, but meaningful steps.
Staking has long been a dispute between the SEC and crypto issuers. In earlier Ethereum ETF discussions, staking was a problem for the regulatory authorities due to the associated financial and security risks. However, companies are now proactively responding to these concerns by proposing models that include risk -related operating strategies.
Despite the careful procedure of the SEC, the bets remain optimistic. On Polymarket reached the Probability that a Solana-ETF is approved in 2025, 91 %. Seyffart closed itself this opinionan And said that the likelihood of admission is high until the beginning of the fourth quarter, with the discussions possible at the end of June or early July.
It is striking that Blackrock is not included in the current first wave of application. Seyffart said that Blackrock is not yet in the Solana ETF area has enteredbut he would not be surprised if it would join later:
“At the moment it doesn’t look like you will be there in the first wave.”
Market mood reflects increasing trust
The solana course has proven to be resistant in the middle of the ongoing ETF developments. According to Coinmarketcap, Sol was traded at $ 146.40, which corresponds to a daily increase of 0.92 %. The broader crypto market does not interpret the delays of the SEC as a rejection, but as part of a lengthy test process.
Seyffart explained:
“Delays in spot crypto ETFs are expected.”
He noted that XRP-ETPs also have upcoming examination dates and that early approval could be given at the end of June. At the beginning Q4 remains the most likely time frame.
Political changes could also have an impact on changing the SEC approach. The crypto regulations were relaxed under the government of President Donald Trump. The SEC recently dropped complaints against coinbase, binance and octopuses. In addition, the increased cooperation between regulatory authorities and crypto companies indicates that a new focus is on structured compliance instead of a flat -rate enforcement.
This change in the regulatory tone has led to an increase in ETF applications, not only for large old coins such as Solana and XRP, but also for meme coins such as Dogecoin, Bonk and the Official Trump. However, none of these applications have received a final approval.
At the moment, the sec has until October to use the current wave of Solana ETF applications decide. However, in view of the speed of the latest developments – including the addition of staking and deepening the dialogue between issuers and regulatory authorities – approval could also take place earlier. In the event of success, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana would be the only cryptocurrency with SEC-approved spot ETFs.
