The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed its decisions on Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs), pushing back the potential for these products to hit the market. This delay, expected to last until October 16th, 2025, reflects ongoing regulatory scrutiny impacting ETF approval timelines. The SEC’s decision adds uncertainty to the already volatile Solana market, causing a temporary decline in price. Solana (SOL) has experienced notable drops, with some traders liquidating their holdings for fear of further losses. This volatility underscores the long-term impact of regulatory hurdles on the crypto market. While many see the delay as a necessary step to ensure proper examination of regulations, it also adds to pre-existing concerns about market volatility during these periods of heightened scrutiny.
