According to Odaily, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked potential Solana ETF issuers to submit revised S-1 forms by next week, as reported by three informed sources. Two of these sources mentioned that the SEC will provide feedback within 30 days of the S-1 submission. The agency has requested updates on physical redemption and how issuers handle staking, indicating a willingness to include staking as part of the Solana ETF.
Another source estimated that these updates could lead to the approval of the Solana ETF within three to five weeks. James Seyffart from Bloomberg Industry Research expressed optimism about the approval happening this year, possibly as early as July. In a report released this week, Seyffart noted that the SEC might prioritize Solana's 19b-4 application and staking ETF sooner than planned. Issuers and industry participants have likely been collaborating with the SEC and its cryptocurrency task force to establish guidelines, although the final decision deadline for such applications is set for October.
