As of November 17, 2025, filings from Fidelity, VanEck, 21Shares, and others remain pending, amid 12 consecutive days of positive SOL ETF inflows totaling over $577 million in the past three weeks.
These filings have driven $SOL resilience, with ETF inflows contrasting $BTC Bitcoin/$ETH Ethereum outflows. On X (formerly Twitter), buzz is high: Fidelity's NYSE filing sparked "game-changer" reactions, while VanEck's launch announcement (potentially imminent) highlights staking partnerships. Approval could propel SOL to $300+ ATHs by year-end, per analysts, amid institutional demand. Risks include SEC delays or classification issues.Initial Wave (2024–Early 2025): VanEck (June 2024), Bitwise (Nov 2024), Grayscale (Jan 2025).
S-1 Filings (June 13, 2025): Seven issuers (Fidelity, 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary, VanEck) submitted/amended S-1s with staking language.
Amendments (July–Sep 2025): SEC requested refilings by end-July; flurry in late Sep clarified staking and removed delay clauses.
October–November 2025: 21Shares' Form 8-A approved (Oct); VanEck/Fidelity 8-A filings (Nov 14–17); delays from U.S. government shutdown paused reviews.
First Deadline: October 10, 2025 (passed without full approval, but amendments continue). Analysts like James Seyffart (Bloomberg) and Nate Geraci predict "days/weeks" to launch, potentially mid-November, following Bitwise's staking ETF success.For real-time SEC filings, check EDGAR database.
