Solana ETF Approval Nears – Will SEC Allow Staking?
Highlights
- Spot Solana ETF approval odds are skyrocketing after issuers updated amended S-1 filings.
- SEC is reviewing the applications, and analysts like James Seyffart and others predict 90+ approval chances.
- While investors' interest in Solana staking ETFs is high, uncertainty on approval looms.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of a spot Solana ETF or any other altcoin exchange-traded fund is the most anticipated event in the crypto industry. The sixth biggest cryptocurrency in the market is awaiting the SEC’s decision, and the involved firms have resubmitted an amended S-1 filing to launch a spot SOL ETF. But the question is whether they will allow the staking as well. Let’s discuss.
Seven Asset Manager Update Solana ETF Filings, Approval Next?
Per the SEC’s demand for amendment of S-1 filings for the spot Solana ETF launch, seven major firms, including Fidelity, Franklin, Templeton, Bitwise, and others, have updated their filings. SEC requested primary changes around in-kind redemptions and fund structure, which the issuers cleared.
Notably, these features include explicit language on staking, signaling that the SOL ETF issuers aim to offer income-generating rewards, not only price exposure.
It is also in demand among investors as they would earn passive income by locking up their assets and also support network operations. This way, they would earn yield without trading, increasing the demand for such exchange-traded funds.
Interestingly, this is the first ever happening in the U.S. crypto ETFs.
Will the SEC Approve Solana ETF With Staking?
Previously, the SEC pressured Ethereum ETF filers to remove the staking feature to gain approval. However, a regulatory shift is visible in the new Solana filings explaining the staking features.
Overall, the odds of the SEC approving a spot Solana ETF are high, as the Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart estimates a 90% chance. Besides, the Polymarket data also shows 92% odds for the same, but the timeline for when the SEC will approve is not fixed.
There’s also competition with other crypto ETFs like XRP, Dogecoin & others. Moreover, there’s additional uncertainty for the Solana staking features, as there’s no official remark, just a hint in the re-filings. Investors must await further clarity on the subject.
