Solana ETF Approval: Key Factors to Watch

The growing interest in altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) following the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has put Solana, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, in the spotlight.

However, securing approval for a Solana ETF faces several challenges, particularly from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Solana must address several hurdles to move forward.

How to Secure a Solana ETF

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversees the approval of ETFs in the US. The rigorous process ensures that any new financial product meets stringent regulatory standards. Nonetheless, here are the steps Solana must take to secure ETF approval:

  1. Regulatory Compliance: Solana needs to overcome regulatory hurdles to gain ETF approval. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has classified Solana as a security, complicating the approval process. This classification differs from Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have successfully obtained ETF approvals. Solana must demonstrate adherence to existing financial regulations. This includes clear evidence of anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) protocols. Compliance with these standards assures the SEC of the legitimacy and security of the underlying asset.
  2. Market Demand: The SEC considers the proposed ETF’s demand and market maturity. Solana must prove substantial interest from institutional and retail investors, as evidenced by trading volumes and the number of active wallets.
  3. Custody Solutions: Secure and reliable custody solutions are crucial. Custodians must have robust security measures to protect against hacks and theft. The presence of recognized custodians willing to manage Solana assets will be a positive factor in the approval process.
  4. Liquidity: High liquidity is essential for any ETF. Solana must demonstrate sufficient liquidity to handle large transactions without significant price disruptions. This is often assessed through the asset’s trading volume and market capitalization.
  5. Transparency and Reporting: Solana must also ensure transparent operations with regular and accurate reporting. This includes detailed disclosures about the asset’s performance, governance, and any significant changes that might affect investors.

Recognizing Solana’s Potential

Industry leaders acknowledge the growing interest in Solana and its potential as an ETF candidate.

According to Michael Sonnenshein, CEO of Grayscale Investments, the demand for diversified crypto investment products is increasing. He also noted that it is a “more cost-effective blockchain than Ethereum,” with over 500 decentralized apps and 1.2 million monthly active users

“There’s a continued appetite to invest in Solana” among investors,” Sonnenshein said.

Interestingly, a Solana-based ETF has already been approved in Brazil. On August 7, 2024, Brazil’s Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) granted preliminary approval for the country’s first Solana ETF, created by QR Asset and managed by Vortx, according to a local media report.

However, it still requires final approval from the Brazilian stock exchange, B3, before it can officially launch

“This ETF reaffirms our commitment to offer quality and diversification to Brazilian investors. We are proud to be global pioneers in this segment, consolidating Brazil’s position as a vanguard market for regulated investments in cryptoassets,” Theodoro Fleury, director at QR Asset, said.

Other jurisdictions are also moving forward. In Canada, Evolve Funds Group launched the world’s first multi-cryptocurrency ETF, which includes Solana among its holdings. This product, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, offers exposure to multiple cryptocurrencies, reflecting a growing trend of diversified crypto investment options.

In Europe, Switzerland’s SIX Swiss Exchange approved the trading of Solana-based exchange-traded products (ETPs). These ETPs, managed by companies like 21Shares, provide investors with direct exposure to Solana.

On the other hand, no Solana ETFs have received approval in the US, but several firms are reportedly exploring this avenue. Companies like Valkyrie Investments and Bitwise Asset Management have expressed interest in filing for a Solana ETF.

The Road Ahead

For Solana to secure ETF approval in the US, it must continue meeting the SEC’s stringent requirements while addressing regulatory concerns. The process involves collaboration between Solana’s development team, financial institutions, and regulatory bodies. Transparency, security, and robust market infrastructure will be key to gaining the necessary approvals.

Moreover, the ongoing success of Solana-based ETFs in international markets may influence the SEC’s decision-making process. Demonstrating that Solana can operate successfully within regulated environments globally could bolster its case for US approval.

Overall, the journey towards a Solana ETF is challenging but not insurmountable. If the crypto can address regulatory requirements and leverage industry support, Solana can position itself as a viable candidate for ETF approval, offering investors a new avenue for cryptocurrency exposure.
