BREAKING: Analysts say Solana ETFs could be weeks away following flurry of amended filings

The Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have been out for a while now…

But what about Solana?

Well according to analysts, the Solana ETFs are only weeks away.

On Friday, a wave of amended filings hit the SEC - with Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Grayscale, VanEck, CoinShares, and Canary Capital all updating their S-1s for spot Solana ETFs.

This wasn’t a random flurry.

Analysts say the coordinated timing points to back-and-forth with regulators - and potentially, approvals within weeks.

Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, went even further:

That puts mid-October on the calendar - a month already primed for crypto catalysts.

And the new filings didn’t just refresh paperwork - they added something big: staking.

Fidelity’s updated document notes it will stake some or all SOL holdings to earn yield, a move that could make Solana ETFs more attractive than their Bitcoin and Ethereum counterparts.

Analysts say this feature could also set the stage for long-awaited ETH ETF staking approval, reshaping demand across both assets.

Why This Matters

Solana has long been under-owned by institutions compared to BTC and ETH. That’s changing fast.

With U.S. spot ETFs now on the verge of launch, SOL is being positioned as the breakout altcoin of this cycle.

The Bottom Line: Bitcoin had its ETF moment in January. Ethereum followed in July.

Now, all signs point to Solana’s turn - and the timing couldn’t be better.

With approvals potentially landing in October, staking built in, and institutions circling, SOL is stepping onto the big stage.

This isn’t just another altcoin launch. It’s the start of Solana’s institutional era. 🚀

‘Uptober’ is about to begin. ⚠️

First it was corporate treasuries buying crypto. Then it was ETFs.

Now the financial advisors are circling.

They are hungry for crypto. 🦈

Matt Hougan - CIO of Bitwise and one of the sharpest institutional voices in crypto - just shared some eye-opening numbers from his latest webinar with several hundred financial advisors:

“Are you allocating in client accounts today?”

36% said yes.

“How soon do you plan to allocate new capital to crypto?”

53% said within 1-6 months.

Why are these numbers important?

Well Matt Hougan has been running these polls for over 7 years.

Normally, the “planning to allocate” bucket is tiny. 5-15% at best.

He says he’s never seen anything close to 53%.

Here’s why that matters:

Financial advisors control trillions in client assets. And unlike retail, when they buy, they buy in size.

The message is clear:

The whales are getting hungry.

And they’re coming for crypto. 🐳

Time for a check-in on the Long/Short-Term Holder Threshold.

Here’s how this metric works:

This metric is powerful because it shows exactly what price range long and short term holders bought their Bitcoin at. 🔍

The new key cutoff date is April 26, 2025 - when Bitcoin was hovering near $94K.

Anything bought before that? Long-term (LTH).
After? Short-term (STH).

Here’s the breakdown:

Over the past two weeks, long-term holders unloaded a net 19,869 BTC - indicating some level of profit taking.

Likely as a result of the correction…

But let’s keep perspective: more than 70% of all Bitcoin is still locked up in long-term hands.

That’s massive. Conviction hasn’t gone anywhere - the base remains rock solid. 🚀

The clock is running out on Bitcoin's $200k dreams in 2025. Major institutions and analysts including Standard Chartered, Bitwise, and Arthur Hayes, predicted a $200,000 BTC price by December.

Expect major BTC corrections before new all-time highs. Bitcoin will perform like Nvidia and record several major corrections on its path to new all-time highs, analyst Jordi Visser said.
