Solana ETF: Approved by 2026?
Following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, asset managers like VanEck and 21Shares have filed for Solana ETFs. This prediction asks if the SEC will grant approval before the end of 2026.
The Institutional Push
The strong 'Yes' vote is driven by recent momentum. In late 2025, filings indicated that the SEC was engaging constructively with issuers, and Solana's market structure (with high liquidity and decentralization metrics) mirrors Ethereum's. With futures contracts potentially listing on major exchanges to satisfy surveillance requirements, the regulatory path is clearing. Analysts see 2026 as the breakout year for the 'altcoin ETF' expansion.
