#Solana ETF to be Listed in 2026#
Hot Topic Overview
Overview
The path to a Solana ETF listing is currently facing multiple challenges, with an expected launch date in the US not before 2026. The primary reason is the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuits against cryptocurrency exchanges, accusing Solana (SOL) of being an unregistered security. This makes it difficult for the SEC to review it as a commodity ETF. Even with a crypto-friendly White House, the SEC's review process could take up to 240-260 days, further delaying the Solana ETF launch.

Analysis
The path to a Solana ETF listing is fraught with challenges, with analysts expecting it to debut in the US no earlier than 2026. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart points out that while the White House has been friendly towards crypto, the process has been made more complicated by the SEC's ongoing classification debate regarding Solana and its recent lawsuits against crypto exchanges, alleging SOL constitutes an unregistered security. The SEC enforcement division has labeled Solana a security, making it difficult for other SEC departments to review it as a commodity ETF. Additionally, the SEC review process typically takes 240-260 days, meaning that even with a friendly White House, a Solana ETF listing could be pushed to 2026.
