Solana ETF Filings Pile Up as Firms Add Staking Features: Here Is When They Could Be Approved

A wave of amended filings has landed at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for spot Solana (SOL) exchange-traded funds, marking one of the most concentrated pushes yet to bring a new crypto asset into the regulated ETF landscape.

According to ETF Store president Nate Geraci, heavyweight asset managers including Franklin Templeton, Fidelity, CoinShares, Bitwise, Grayscale, VanEck, and Canary all submitted updated S-1 registration statements this week.

The filings, submitted on September 26, reveal a notable addition: staking. That detail suggests issuers see potential to incorporate Solana’s proof-of-stake rewards directly into the ETF structure, a feature that could mirror what’s being pursued in pending spot Ethereum ETF applications.

The simultaneous amendments have fueled expectations of imminent approval. Geraci speculated that the SEC could clear these products “within the next two weeks,” though no official decision has been made. The move comes as regulators continue accelerating their review of crypto funds following this year’s approval of multi-asset ETPs and staking-enabled Solana products abroad.

If approved, the ETFs could provide U.S. investors with new exposure to Solana’s ecosystem while potentially distributing staking yields through regulated channels, a development that would further blur the lines between traditional finance and blockchain-native returns.
