Solana ETFs may attract $6B in first year as SOL joins ‘big league’

Solana is stepping up to the “big league” thanks to the approval of the first Solana staking ETF, which may bring wider altcoin adoption among yield-seeking institutions, an analyst said.

Investors are closely watching the launch of the first Solana staking exchange-traded fund (ETF), a move expected to inject billions of dollars into Solana and the broader altcoin market.
