- Solana ETF filings amended as SEC signals regulatory flexibility.
- Grayscale plans 2.5% fee, payable in SOL, disclosed.
- SEC’s Project Crypto boosts hope for altcoin ETF approvals.
Solana ETF discussions have gained momentum as top financial firms updated their filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On Thursday, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Fidelity, Canary Capital, CoinShares, Grayscale, and VanEck amended their S-1 registration statements.
According to Grayscale’s filing, the company would charge a 2.5% management fee on its fund and receive it in SOL, Solana’s native token. The other amendments, on a blanket basis, did not demonstrate any significant order shake-up but rather contained indications of further repositioning on the advice of the SEC.
Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth, said the updates were the result of the active partnership between the SEC and ETF issuers. He added that the issuers revised the filings with better wording, even though they made few modifications to the fund structures.
Growing interest in crypto legislation and improving relations between companies and the regulatory body are spurring this new enthusiasm. In this case, the SEC accepted in-kind redemptions on spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs this week—this was a more relaxed path forward.
The Commission increased Bitcoin funds option limits, which means that the issuers could trade and design bitcoin funds with more flexibility.

SEC Policy Shift Sparks Optimism for Solana ETF Prospects
On the same day as the filings, SEC Chair Paul Atkins launched Project Crypto to ensure that old regulatory regimes were revised to account for crypto assets. Atkins stated that the majority of crypto token classifications are non-securities, which is contrary to the centuries-long SEC approach to the classification of digital assets.
Such an announcement might eliminate what are proving to be significant barriers to the issuer of crypto ETFs, such as those driving funds founded on SOL and other coins. The transition paves the way towards greater mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies as a valid means of financial transactions with fresher regulation.
Issuers are aligning their strategies with the SEC’s changing attitude and filing differently to accommodate regulatory requirements. New energy has accompanied a better regulatory tone within the ETF world, especially with ETF projects related to big altcoins.
Solana’s inclusion in this momentum puts it in the first row of altcoin-supported ETF products that await authorization.
These new amendments show promise, but the SEC still holds jurisdiction, and the full body will grant final approval once it decides to approve them. Solana ETF proposals have been gaining momentum due to well-organized industry initiatives and regulatory indications that Solana ETF may be approved soon.
