Market Analysis:
Analyst: SOL Spot ETF May Be Approved as Early as March 14, Latest by October 10
Sosovalue macro analyst stated that according to the SEC's current regulatory framework, cryptocurrency spot ETFs must undergo dual reviews of the S-1 registration document and the 19b-4 exchange rule adjustment document. The SEC must publish the preliminary review results within 45 days after accepting the 19b-4 document, and make a final decision within a maximum of 240 days.
Taking the Grayscale Solana Trust as an example, its 19b-4 document was accepted by the SEC on February 12. The SEC can reject or delay within the first 30 days, but cannot approve directly, so the earliest approval window is March 14, with the preliminary review deadline on March 29, which may release key regulatory signals. If the Grayscale Solana Trust is approved, SOL spot ETFs like Bitwise Solana ETF that adopt the same exchange rule adjustment plan may also be approved simultaneously, and market liquidity expectations may start to react to pricing at this stage. If we refer to the approval duration of Bitcoin spot ETFs (up to 240 days), the latest approval date for the SOL spot ETF would be October 10, 2025. However, under the current regulatory environment, the market generally expects the SEC's approval process to accelerate.
