The Start of Solana ETFs: What Happens Next & Simple Advice

What does this mean for the whole crypto world?

These new Solana ETFs connect two worlds:

- Old-school finance (banks, big funds)
- New crypto finance (DeFi, apps on blockchain)

If money keeps coming in the same way it did for Ethereum ETFs, Solana could get $50–100 billion of new money in the next 12 months.

That is a huge amount!

Why is BlackRock (the biggest company in the world) NOT making a Solana ETF yet?

BlackRock said: “Solana is still small (only 3% of the total crypto market) and sometimes not liquid enough.”

So they stay with Bitcoin and Ethereum for now.
This is actually good for smaller companies like Fidelity and VanEck – they can take the early money and grow fast.
What are the risks for Solana?

The U.S. government (SEC) might say “no staking inside ETFs” → less reward for holders.
The Solana network sometimes slows down or stops (outages) → this scares big investors.

What are the big strengths?

Super-fast and very cheap transactions (less than 1 cent).
Special technology called “Proof-of-History” lets thousands of transactions happen every second.
Perfect for real-life uses: mobile payments, games, memes, NFTs.

Price prediction – the easy version of it

Next few weeks/months: SOL can go back to $145–$150 easily because of the new ETF money and good chart signals (RSI > 50 and MACD looks bullish).

By summer 2026: If the ETFs keep getting $100 million every week, Solana’s total value can reach $100 billion. That would make it a real competitor to Ethereum.

Simple tips for regular investors:

- Buy Solana through these new ETFs – it’s safer and easier than using wallets.

- Don’t put all your money at once → buy a little every week (this is called dollar-cost averaging).

Watch the important numbers:

- Number of active wallets (if it keeps growing = good)
- Weekly ETF money coming in
- If the price falls below $130, protect yourself with options or move some money to stablecoins.

Be patient – the long-term story is very strong!

My final message to all:

Solana just became “official” for big money.
The fast network + new ETFs = a lot of new investors coming.
Yes, there are still some risks, but the good things are much bigger right now.
This is probably the start of a new big rise for SOL price. 🚀
