#Solana ETF to be listed in 2026.#
Hot Topic Overview
Overview
The path to a Solana ETF listing in the U.S. currently faces numerous challenges, with experts predicting its arrival no sooner than 2026. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently suing Solana's exchange, alleging that it is an unregistered security, making it difficult for the SEC to approve a commodity ETF. While Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart believes it is only a matter of time before the SEC approves a Solana or XRP ETF, the SEC's lengthy review process and the controversy surrounding Solana's security nature could push the Solana ETF timeline out to 2026.

Analysis
The path to a Solana ETF listing is fraught with challenges, with an expected launch date in the US not until 2026. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart said even with a White House friendly to crypto, the SEC’s lawsuits against crypto exchanges, accusing SOL of being an unregistered security, have complicated the review process. The SEC’s enforcement arm has labeled Solana as a security, making it difficult for other parts of the SEC to review it as a commodity ETF. Furthermore, the SEC’s review process typically takes 240-260 days, pushing the Solana ETF listing timeline to potentially 2026. Still, Seyffart believes it’s only a matter of time before the SEC approves a Solana or XRP ETF, but a Litecoin ETF could be the first to get approved given the SEC has not accused Litecoin of being a security.
