Solana ETF Approval Odds Surge as 2025 Outlook Brightens
Wall Street warms to Solana as ETF whispers grow louder—just in time for the next bull run.
Why Solana? Speed, scalability, and a growing DeFi ecosystem make it a prime candidate for institutional adoption. The network’s resilience post-FTX collapse didn’t hurt either.
The regulatory hurdle: SEC Chair Gary Gensler still hates crypto, but even he can’t ignore the market’s demand for altcoin exposure. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF paved the way—now the floodgates might open.
Cynical take: Banks will fight tooth and nail to control what they once called a ’scam,’ now that there’s money to be made. Expect Solana’s price to swing wildly on rumor alone.
Bottom line: If approved, a Solana ETF would legitimize the chain beyond meme coin status—and give TradFi a cut of the action they’ve been missing.

Meanwhile, REX Shares and Osprey Funds are pursuing a separate route, having filed for a “staking ETF” that would allocate capital to Solana and ethereum and generate yield by staking at least half of the fund’s assets. But this proposal has drawn scrutiny. The SEC has raised questions about whether the fund structure meets the criteria laid out in the Investment Company Act, which could introduce additional legal hurdles.
Despite the regulatory uncertainty, the overall tone has shifted toward optimism. As the SEC continues to weigh its options, many in the market are betting that 2025 could be the breakthrough year for Solana ETFs.
