The approval of the U.S. SOL spot ETF is blocked
Compared with Hong Kong’s rapid action, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s approval of the SOL spot ETF is slightly behind. As of October 22, 2025, SOL spot ETF applications from VanEck, Bitwise, Grayscale, Fidelity and other institutions are still under review. Originally, some SOL spot ETFs would receive final approval this month. However, due to the official shutdown of the U.S. government on October 1, the approval process for many cryptocurrency ETFs, including SOL, has been blocked. It is expected that no new news will be released until the U.S. government reopens.
