7 Solana ETF Issuers File S-1, Analyst Doubts Next Week Approval
The post 7 Solana ETF Issuers File S-1, Analyst Doubts Next Week Approval appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Seven Solana ETF applicants filed S-1 statements with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 13; however, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart doubts approval will come as soon as next week. “I think there needs to be a back and forth with the SEC and issuers to iron out details, so I doubt it. If anyone remembers the Bitcoin ETF launch, there were *A LOT* of filings over the preceding couple months before launch,” Seyffart said in a post on Friday. US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024, more than ten years after crypto exchange Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss filed the first spot Bitcoin ETF application with the SEC in 2013. “Staking language” was included in all the filings On June 13, Fidelity Investments filed its initial S-1 registration statement for its spot Solana (SOL) ETF product, while 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale Investments, Bitwise Investments, and Canary Capital filed S-1 amendments. VanEck — which was the first US firm to file for a spot Solana ETF in June 2024 — was the last to submit its amended S-1 amended filing for the day.

It comes as spot Ether (ETH) ETF products are also under review to add the long-anticipated staking feature. Seyffart mulls idea of staking approval for spot Solana and Ether ETFs simultaneously Seyffart said it is possible that the spot Solana ETFs “could theoretically” be launched with staking at the same time that the SEC approves staking for the spot Ether ETFs.
