Grayscale, VanEck Seek Solana ETF Approval as SOL Surges
Major asset managers like Grayscale and VanEck are seeking approval for a Solana ETF, aiming to make it easier for institutional investors to access SOL. The US SEC will decide on October 10 whether to greenlight this move, which could significantly boost Solana's presence in the world market.
Solana's popularity has been surging, with investment products seeing record inflows of $707 million in just one week. This remarkable growth has pushed the total assets under management of all Solana ETPs to an all-time high of $5.1 billion. Meanwhile, Solana is actively working on improving its infrastructure with projects like 'Alpenglow'. This upgrade initiative consists of two key components, Votor and Rotor, aiming to enhance transaction finality, reducing it to under 150 ms, by overhauling consensus voting and data transmission. A testnet deployment is scheduled for December 2025, followed by a mainnet upgrade in Q1 2026.
In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum, currently the stock market leaders, are facing challenges in the crypto market.
The potential approval of a Solana ETF could open up new avenues for institutional investment, building on the record inflows and infrastructure improvements. Despite the challenges faced by other cryptocurrencies, Solana is surging ahead with record numbers and significant upgrades, positioning itself as a strong contender in the stock market.
