List of Solana Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Pending Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Authorization: Dates, Documents, and Future Steps Revealed

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is gearing up to make a decision on several Solana Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that have been filed by various asset managers. The final decision, which was initially set for October 10, 2025, could come as early as mid-September 2025, according to recent developments.

The SEC's soft deadline of October 10, 2025, for Solana ETFs comes in the wake of increased interest in these funds. Several asset managers, including Fidelity, REX Shares, Canary, Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, Galaxy Digital, and Invesco Galaxy, have filed applications for Solana ETFs.

One of the key factors supporting this timeline is the eligibility of Solana futures contracts. Cboe’s proposal to list Solana ETFs becomes eligible for approval after a six-month futures contract period, expiring around September 17, 2025. This makes mid-September the earliest plausible launch window if the SEC accepts Cboe's filing.

The SEC's active regulatory review is another indicator that approvals could come sooner. The regulatory body requested issuers to submit amended filings by the end of July 2025, suggesting that the review process is in full swing and may culminate shortly. Some insiders speculate that approvals could come as soon as late August or September, but October 10 remains the firm final deadline.

The approval momentum has increased after the launch of the REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF (SSK) in early July 2025. This ETF, which passed without typical regulatory resistance, sets a precedent and likely pushes the SEC to avoid delayed decisions for spot Solana ETFs.

If approved, the first Solana ETF could launch by late 2025, providing investors with a regulated and diversified exposure to the Solana cryptocurrency. Solana's high-speed blockchain and its growing DeFi/NFT adoption make it an attractive prospect for ETFs.

Investors are eager to gain regulated exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, and Solana ETFs could be the answer. As the SEC's final decision on proposed Solana ETFs approaches, the anticipation among investors and asset managers alike is palpable.
