When Will the SEC Approve the Solana ETF Application?
Investors strive to utilize Solana’s high-performance blockchain, which can process thousands of transactions per second and is widely used in decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other innovative applications.
However, the SEC has not approved any applications yet, but is expected to make a final decision on proposed Solana ETFs by October 2025. If approved, it will establish SOL as a legitimate mainstream asset in traditional financial markets.
