The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has pushed back its decision on a proposed spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF), with the cryptocurrency industry now looking to the deadlines for the Polkadot and XRP-based ETFs in June. The SEC pushed its decision on listing Grayscale’s spot Solana ( SOL ) Trust ETF on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to October 2025, according to a May 13 filing by the securities regulator.

Source: James Seyffart Spot ETFs are viewed as key drivers of liquidity and institutional adoption for digital assets. For Bitcoin ( BTC ), the US spot Bitcoin ETFs accounted for an estimated 75% of new investment after launching, which helped BTC recapture the $50,000 mark in February 2024, a month after the ETFs debuted for trading. While a Solana ETF may generate only a fraction of the inflows of Bitcoin ETFs, it could increase Solana’s institutional adoption in the long term by offering investors a “regulated investment vehicle” that may still attract billions of dollars in capital, Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, told Cointelegraph.

The SEC will decide on Grayscale’s Polkadot ( DOT ) ETF by June 11, and 21Shares’ Polkadot ETF on June 24, according to a court filing from the SEC. On June 17, the SEC is set to make a decision on Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ( XRP ) ETF and Bitwise’s spot Dogecoin ( DOGE ) ETF, official filings show. However, those decisions may also be delayed. The SEC typically takes full advantage of its 240-day review period when evaluating crypto-related financial products, as seen in its handling of the Bitcoin and Ether ( ETH ) ETF applications in 2023 and 2024.
