Rising Optimism for Solana ETF Approval as Market Confidence Surges to 85%
Polymarket bettors are increasingly confident that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve spot Solana (SOL) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the end of 2025.
Current predictions place the likelihood at 85%, a sharp rise from 45% just days ago, signaling growing optimism about the integration of Solana-based ETFs into the financial market.
This surge in confidence aligns with the filing of Solana ETF applications by major asset managers, including Grayscale, VanEck, and 21Shares. However, regulatory uncertainty remains a challenge, as the SEC has labeled Solana a security in ongoing legal cases. Analysts suggest this classification could complicate approval efforts, though it hasn’t dampened market enthusiasm entirely.
Further bolstering optimism, Volatility Shares filed for Solana futures ETFs in late 2024, highlighting increased market interest despite the absence of regulated Solana futures trading. Experts see this as a step toward laying the groundwork for spot Solana ETFs.

A potential leadership change at the SEC in 2025 adds another layer of intrigue. Analysts like Eric Balchunas and Nate Geraci suggest that a crypto-friendly appointee, such as Paul Atkins, could reshape the regulatory landscape, fostering a more supportive stance on digital asset ETFs.
While the approval of Solana ETFs would mark a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency sector, much depends on regulatory developments and the impact of new leadership at the SEC. If successful, such approvals could solidify Solana’s position as a key player in the digital asset market.
