Interest from institutional investors in Solana has grown rapidly, with both European staking ETPs and U.S. spot ETFs drawing substantial capital. Bitwise’s European ETP, BSOL, offers an 8% annual yield from staking, distinguishing it from U.S. offerings that currently cannot include staking due to regulatory restrictions. The SEC’s careful consideration of Solana’s classification as a security remains a significant challenge, but regulated futures markets and custodial solutions like the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) help address many regulatory concerns. Prediction platforms such as Polymarket estimate an 89–95% probability of approval by late 2025, reflecting optimism about regulatory progress.
The potential green light for Solana ETFs represents a major milestone in integrating crypto with mainstream finance. Analysts forecast that approval could bring $3–6 billion in new investments, with SOL price targets ranging from $300 to $1,000 depending on market dynamics. This could speed up adoption in areas like decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and tokenized real-world assets, benefiting infrastructure providers such as Coinbase and institutional Solana holders. Nevertheless, risks like network instability and price swings persist, highlighting the importance of prudent risk management for investors.
