Solana could be the next big name in crypto ETFs, as analysts now forecast that a spot Solana staking ETF might launch in the near future. U.S.-based investment firm Rex Shares has taken the first step by filing a registration for a Solana Trust, which many believe is the precursor to a full ETF product.
This move comes just days after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave the green light to Ethereum-based ETFs — a major milestone that appears to be paving the way for other altcoins.
“We think there’s a real chance that a Solana ETF could be next,”

Could Solana Be the Next ETF Star?
Solana, known for its fast transaction speeds and low fees, has already carved out a strong position in DeFi, NFTs, and real-world asset tokenization. A potential ETF, especially one including staking rewards could attract traditional investors seeking exposure to passive income in crypto.
But there’s a catch. While Bitcoin and Ethereum are now broadly viewed as commodities, Solana’s regulatory classification remains unclear. Despite that, analysts argue that the recent approval of Ethereum staking ETFs could offer a similar regulatory pathway for SOL.
If approved, a Solana ETF could bring significant credibility to the ecosystem, drive new capital inflows, and potentially boost SOL’s market price, which is currently hovering around $144.
Why a Solana ETF Matters for the Crypto Market
A Solana ETF wouldn’t just benefit SOL holders, it could legitimize the broader altcoin ecosystem. With staking rewards and lower transaction fees, Solana offers unique advantages compared to Ethereum. If institutional capital flows into SOL through an ETF, it could mark a pivotal moment in how traditional finance interacts with next-gen blockchains.
