Solana's October Showdown: ETF Decisions Could Boost Crypto's Star
October 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for investors in Solana, a cryptocurrency known for its speed and scalability. Pending applications for Solana-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could bring significant changes to the market.
The exact timeline for the SEC's decision on these applications remains unclear, as no specific information is currently available. However, the potential approval of these ETFs, coupled with growing institutional demand and technological advancements, could catapult Solana into a new tier in the coming weeks.
The final deadline for Grayscale's Solana Trust conversion is October 10, and the ultimate deadline for all SOL ETF applications is October 16. This timeline suggests that a decision could be imminent. Meanwhile, over 65 percent of Solana's network is staked, demonstrating its strength and stability.
CME Solana futures have reached a significant milestone, with open positions totaling one billion dollars in just five months. This rapid growth outpaces both Ethereum price and Bitcoin. Institutional investors are taking notice, driving up Solana's price in anticipation of a potential breakthrough. Major players like Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck have updated their ETF documents, indicating movement from both issuers and the SEC.
With the potential for ETF approval looming, Solana's dominance in weekly DEX volume against Ethereum and its high number of daily active addresses - three times more than Ethereum - suggest that the cryptocurrency is well-positioned for growth. As we approach the October deadlines, all eyes are on the SEC's decision, which could mark a turning point for Solana investors.
