SEC Delays Solana ETF Decision To October

The SEC has officially pushed back its Solana ETF decision to October. This was the last extension they could take, so October 16, 2025 is the final date. That alone changes the mood a bit because there’s no more room for further delays. At this point, the only outcome will be approval or denial. The way regulators framed it, they wanted more time to fully examine market risks and investor protections, which is in line with how they’ve handled past crypto ETF reviews.

Solana Price Holds Strong Despite Delay

After the news, Solana’s price dipped toward $190 but quickly recovered to around $195. That level still keeps it in a bullish zone. The long-term trend also looks solid since it’s well above the 200-day moving average. The key focus now is the $210 resistance level, which traders have been watching closely It’s also worth noting that while spot ETF Approval is still in the air, other Solana-linked products are already drawing real money. The REX Shares Solana Staking ETF, which launched just weeks ago, has crossed $150 million in assets under management. On a single day it brought in $13 million of inflows and $66 million in trading volume. That shows investors are willing to get exposure through regulated products even before a spot Solana ETF exists. In a way, it sets the stage by proving there’s appetite for Solana in traditional markets.

High Odds For Solana ETF Approval

Bloomberg experts still put Solana ETF approval odds above 95%, and prediction markets are even higher. The reasoning is straightforward. Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs have already been approved, CME futures for Solana are trading. Finally, other countries like Canada have allowed their own Solana ETFs

From a market perspective, the October ruling could be a real turning point. An approval would make Solana much easier to access for both institutions and everyday investors through normal brokerage accounts. That kind of accessibility usually brings more liquidity, more stability, and often a Price Rally as new capital flows in. Some estimates suggest billions could enter in the first year. On the other hand, if the decision ends up being a denial, the short-term reaction could be a wave of profit-taking. But even that might not derail the broader trend if Solana’s ecosystem and investor demand keep expanding the way they are now.

Solana Stays Steady Ahead Of Final Decision

Prices of SOLANA are consolidating near $186-195. The market seems to be positioning ahead of the October decision rather than waiting passively. October may shape into a decisive moment for Solana’s place in mainstream finance. If the SEC grants ETF Approval, Solana would join Bitcoin and Ethereum as the only cryptocurrencies with U.S. spot ETFs. That alone could confirm it as one of the core digital assets for institutional investors. Given the current momentum, the steady Price Rally, and how much anticipation has already built, the October decision could mark the start of a new phase for Solana in global markets.
