Solana's cryptocurrency token, SOL, surged past $252, nearing its all-time high, amid reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is engaging with multiple institutions on potential approval of Solana spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Talks are "progressing," with the SEC now processing S-1 applications and exchanges expected to file Form 19b-4s soon, starting the formal approval process. Major financial firms including VanEck, 21Shares, Canary, and Bitwise are reportedly in the race to launch a Solana ETF, with optimism for approval in 2025.
