What do you think?
Will it happen this time or can they still deny it and take a while longer?

Grayscale's application for a Solana ETF could actually turn out to be a significant development  and it's quite exciting to think about it's effect on the network probably in the future. If they should approve it,  it would actually allow investors to gain exposure to Solana through the traditional ETF structure which would definitely affect adoption and liquidity in the solana network.

Aside from that the approval process can sometimes be quite lengthy and uncertain that's because regulatory bodies like the SEC are kinda cautious when it comes to approving cryptocurrency-related ETFs especially in the past. However since Grayscale has has a nice reputation, it could probably help their aproval too.

Whether it's fast or slow, this is significant news. And the SEC is currently reviewing various Solana ETH applications. It turns out that it's not just Grayscale that has submitted this ETH application, but also various big companies such as 21Shares, VanEck, and Canary Capital.

Thus, if the Solana ETF can be approved, the increase in Solana's price could be much more significant. After this news, the price of SOL rose quite drastically after previously falling at $ 225 and now starting to rise at $ 232.

The price right now is 242 USD, but I suspect the price will reflect when (if) they aprove the ETFs

I suspect that they have already submitted the applications so that they can be approved at the beginning of next year with the new SEC management, which will probably be much more pro-crypto, and they should approve SOL's ETF and a few other things

Will BlackRock also want to have a Solana ETF?

Interesting news
Probably it will get approved in trumps administration.

However , I don't expect a huge price change. Just like ethereum approved didn't trigger a huge price change.

I think those etf approvals are all priced in

Yeah ETFs have a high chance of boosting things up including price and adoption , however another question is how long would the ETF news approval affect the price of Solana? Yeah I've seen the effects of ETFs but sometimes they only have a huge effect when at their initial approval period when the news is still fresh and the hype is still high in fact that's when you get the most out of them.

Anyways like I mentioned before grey scale has a good reputation and that may actually improve their chances of an ETF aproval sooner. ETFs are good but how long will it's effect last positively on solana is another question. I guess we actually have to wait and see.

Companies were eager to buy the Bitcoin ETF that did so well
the ETH ETFs were not as successful as they had hoped, but I believe it is still satisfactory

the Solana ETFs I have my doubts, it may be that the good momentum of cryptos and SOL will help a little more than ETH.
I still think there's room for a good rise

A curiosity that I've already posted here on the forum: the SOL ETFs in Brazil have a total value of approximately 34 million reais

Looks like they don't want to deal with any other ETF right now and will wait until next chairman and next administration

This is big news for SOL as a spot SOL ETF has been mentioned right after the spot ETH ETF was approved, but unfortunately, BlackRock has denied plans to propose additional spot ETFs for altcoins. If Grayscale succeeds with this product after Jan 20th, SOL price will receive a steady inflow of funds from traditional investors.

However, we should also be prepared for the negative if the spot SOL ETF is approved. Grayscale's customers have held SOL for a long time, and they may sell off SOL to take profits right after the spot SOL ETF is traded. I hope this will happen in a short period of time and SOL price will continue its upward trend.

I think that Solana is one of the best valuable crypto in cryptocurrency market. I also believe that gradually solana price is increase in cryptocurrency market. Because we know that bitcoin price is increase day by day. So if we follow in crypto market, we can see that others crypto currency price also increase gradually in cryptocurrency market. I also think that after one year bitcoin price is increase near $150k. So i believe that within a short time SOL price could be pass to best position.

The point is that SOL has a much higher volatility.

SOL was basically dead after FTX broke, and it recovered very fast.

Also, there were many altcoins in the past which were top5-top10 and they are basically dead now, like EOS and IOTA.  I don't think Blackrock will risk its reputation listing coins which can just die within some years/months

Yeah, that's what I am expecting. It just doesn't make sense for the outgoing Gensler to deliberate on this. We may not like what he did during the past years in relation to crypto but I think he's not like Joe making late decisions like pardoning his son Hunter ;D

Grayscale probably expected this too but still proceeded with the filing anyway and that's maybe in the hopes that it will be one of the first thing the new SEC Chair will look into.

I believe that Solana ETFs could be approved by 2025
SOL is very strong with many projects going on in the network, and it's working well, I believe can sustain the "hype" and stay for a long time, not only in top 10 of marketcap, but staying relevant with a strong community
Next bear market SOL DeFi can stay even stronger

If it follows the SEC regulatory requirements and other aspects like security and possible market manipulation it could be approved but let's still see how it will come since lots of ETF are tend to denied regardless who applied. Welp, if it got approved surely, that's a massive feat of SOL and its price will soar up.

I'm confused about how to reply to a post like this and I'm also not an expert in guessing. The fact is that until now Solana has not been approved by ETF, isn't that right?

My assumption is, it seems like ETF has very strict regulations for Solana coins to be approved so that it takes longer to be approved. Not to mention the story of Solana which once plunged after the collapse of the FTX Exchange, even though it has risen again, bad memories like that still haunt the Solana coin.
One more thing, as far as I know, the Solana blockchain often goes out and maybe this is what makes Solana considered to be accepted by ETF. Cmiiw

I think that Solana will definitely follow the SEC regulatory requirements, guide lines for the ETF applications, no doubt, in my opinion that Solana has no skeletons in it's cardboard as far as the coin security and market manipulation are concerned.
On a good note, I think that the Solana team are reliable persons having been working very hard since the launch of  of Sol token. Project deserves the ETF approval from SEC to really enhance Solana further growth in near future. It is a welcome development to have the Solana ETF.

The Solana Devteam cannot propose auSpot ETF product for the SOL token themselves. Only large asset management funds can issue a SOL spot ETF on the US stock market when approved. A few funds have filed applications for a SOL Sspot ETF but this has been delayed by the SEC until they have a new chairman after January 20, 2025.

We will wait for official announcements, but the proposal of a SOúnpot ETF has already strengthened SOL value in the market. I hope that the recent price increase of SOL has created enough investment demand for SOL from traditional investors in the US. This demand needs to be large enough to absorb all the selling pressure from Grayscale immediately after the SOL Spot ETF is approved ^^

Personally, I believe that most established projects like XRP have more chances of an ETF approval than SOL.

Maybe both of them get their ETF soon anyway, as SEC is more crypto inclined now

I'm not following XRP  because it's a coin that I don't like too much hehehe, but is there any ETF application for XRP?
I think it's just a matter of time to have more ETFs approved next year

But after SOL, I don't know which coin can have another ETF and probably will not worth to launch a lot of ETFs of cryptos

I just don't know, I'm just not sure if it's just grayscale who wants to file an ETF at this time? I'm not updated on this issue, I'm a bit lazy to research these days, hehe..
But even so, if it's just grayscale who's pushing this ETF to SOL, I don't think it will be approved yet in my opinion.

Though, I'm also one of those who conducts dca here at SOL in these situations, I just said it because SOL seems to be still raw in these scenarios,
I think it's probably not yet time for that kind of thing.

There are already bets on Polymarket for SOL ETFs
Specifically whether or not the ETFs will be approved by July 31, 2025 and bettors are hopeful that it will be approved by the aforementioned date
70% of bets think so

This process is still ongoing and being attempted. After previously Grayscale together with several companies, this time the latest news is that Grayscale Files for Solana $SOL ETF with NYSE.

This news is summarized from:
https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/19387248195426

Yes, just wait for the results in the future, because if this is successful, it will make the price of SOL increase drastically. Not only that, now the market cap has also increased drastically, I am sure that with this approval, Solana will leave BNB even further behind.

...

With the new Trump administration, including new SEC chairman Mark T. Uyeda, who is pro-crypto, the chances of Solana's ETF have increased a LOT
He has already indicated that he will work to develop comprehensive regulation for cryptos
I see no reason to deny SOL's ETF in a few weeks or months
And maybe it will be like the BTC ETF, where they will work together with all the applicants, make sure everything is within the rules, and approve everyone at the same time

It is likely to be accepted because the approach in the past was very different from the current approach. In the past it was more about law enforcement, now it is more about regulatory clarity and supporting innovation, which of course takes time and is not quick to get approved.
