#Solana Staking ETF# Will the Solana Spot ETFs Claiming Tomorrow Ignite an Altcoin Season? Analyst Shared His Opinion!

What will be the impact of the Solana ETFs, which are expected to start trading quietly tomorrow, on the altcoin season?
Cryptocurrency analyst Simeon Koch commented on the approval of Solana spot ETFs by the (SEC) as a historic turning point for the altcoin market.

Solana Spot ETF is coming with Staking Feature
Following the official announcement after the first announcement made by REX Shares, Solana (SOL) has become the third cryptocurrency to receive spot ETF approval in the US after Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, what makes Solana special is that these ETFs also offer staking returns.

The new fund named REX-Osprey Solana and Staking ETF provides investors with access not only to SOL price movements but also to on-chain rewards obtained through staking. Traditional investors can now invest in SOL through regular brokerage firms without the need for cryptocurrency exchanges or complex technical procedures, and they can earn regular staking returns. The official market launch of the fund has been announced for July 2, 2025.

This ETF will operate under a specific structure known as a "C-Corporation" from a technical and legal perspective. This structure allows staking yields to be transferred to investors smoothly from a tax and regulation standpoint. Unlike traditional crypto funds, this structure enables staking profits to be integrated into the ETF framework without the need for additional SEC approval processes.

According to Koch, this development could also open a new chapter for Ethereum ETFs. Until now, staking, regulations, and tax complexities have been obstacles for many ETFs. However, the C-Corp model used in the Solana ETF could be applicable for Ethereum in the future. Still, the longer lock-up periods and technical risks associated with the staking processes on the Ethereum network make this process more complicated. Therefore, for now, there is no staking option in Ethereum ETFs.

The SEC's approval of the Solana ETF, according to Koch, could increase institutional interest not only in Solana but also in the entire altcoin sector. The SEC's quiet approval of this ETF indicates that it is not fundamentally opposed to staking; however, it expects a compliant financial structure. This could pave the way for new ETF applications for other altcoin projects such as Avalanche and Litecoin.
What Could Change with the Solana ETF?
The approval of the fund could facilitate the integration of the staking model with traditional finance, potentially changing the "speculative" perception of altcoins. Along with this new wave, interest in projects with strong infrastructure, scalability, and institutional compliance potential may increase.

Although the ETF approval has been awaited for a long time in the crypto community, it did not create an instant enthusiasm in the market. Many altcoins, including Solana, have declined to low levels as they enter the low-volume "summer lull" period of the summer months. While Bitcoin continues to hover near its historical peaks, capital outflow from altcoins has been observed.

However, Koch considers this situation to be temporary. He reminds that a similar delayed rise occurred in the past during Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals. Indeed, Ethereum performed better than Bitcoin in the second quarter of the year: ETH increased by 36% while BTC remained around 30%. According to the analyst, this is seen as a signal indicating that the altcoin season is approaching in classic cycles.

According to Koch, if the Solana ETF encounters strong investment demand and similar structures emerge for other altcoins, a new altcoin season in the crypto market could come from Wall Street this time.

Simeon Koch's comment concludes as follows:

"The Solana ETF is not just an investment product, but also a symbol of the integration of altcoins into traditional finance. If successful, this could mark the beginning of a new era, not just for Solana, but for the entire altcoin market."
