Major Asset Managers Amend Solana ETF Filings for Staking Support
- Major firms amend Solana ETF filings to include staking.
- Staking support aims to earn on-chain yields.
- Amendments submitted to SEC in late September 2025.
Major asset managers, including Franklin Templeton and Fidelity, amended Solana ETF filings to incorporate staking support, enhancing returns through on-chain yields, submitted to the SEC in September 2025.
These amendments could transform crypto ETF strategies, signaling potential regulatory acceptance of staking, and have sparked increased institutional interest and significant inflows into Solana investments.
Solana ETFs to Enable Staking in SEC Filings
Major asset managers submitted amended filings to the SEC in late September 2025. These amendments enable Solana (SOL) ETFs to incorporate staking support. This move highlights a shift towards leveraging Solana’s proof-of-stake protocol.
Key players such as Franklin Templeton and Fidelity Investments are involved. They aim for on-chain yields via Solana’s network. This marks a notable regulatory and market event for crypto ETFs. As James Seyffart, ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, noted,
“NEW: Bunch of updated filings for the Solana ETF prospectuses. Signs of movement from issuers and the SEC.”
Institutional Demand Rises with $2B Solana Inflows
The amendments have resulted in significant market interest and increased institutional positioning. Solana recently attracted $2 billion in net inflows, reflecting anticipation for the ETF approval.
Financial experts note potential implications for other proof-of-stake tokens like ETH. The SEC’s evolving stance on staking may reshape the ETF landscape if approved. Hunter Horsley, CIO of Bitwise, remarked, “Solana is on people’s minds.”
Bitcoin ETF Precedent Spurs Staking ETF Interest
This event is comparable to the Bitcoin spot ETF approval in early 2024, which paved the way for additional crypto ETF applications. Such amendments can influence future ETH ETFs.
Experts foresee renewed ETF structures involving staked assets. If Solana’s structure gains approval, a wider review of staking-enabled ETF products for other Layer 1s could occur.
