In a recent interview, Leah Wald, CEO of SOL Strategies, shared insights on how the anticipation of ETFs for Solana can impact asset management on the network. According to her, this trend resembles the behavior of Bitcoin miners during ETF surges.
ETF Impact on Solana
Leah Wald noted that companies focused on digital assets related to Solana are creating a similar "rising tide" as seen with Bitcoin miners and ETFs. She remarked, "There has always been a pattern where miners experience the influx due to ETF interest that also accompanies increases in Bitcoin interest."
Evaluation Pressure on Digital Asset Treasury Companies
Reports indicate that Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) firms, including SOL Strategies, are under evaluation pressure. Wald emphasized that SOL Strategies differentiates itself from other companies due to its focus on asset management alongside infrastructure. She stated, "This does not scare us. It puts us in a position of strength, as we are the only ones running a real business."
Regulatory Environment and Solana-ETF Listings
Regulatory changes regarding Solana ETFs continue to emerge, generating anticipation among analysts. The status of many filed applications will be reviewed by key deadlines, including October 16, 2025, which may lead to expected approval from the SEC.
As a result, current changes in asset management within Solana exhibit rapid development. The expectation of ETF approvals, increasing infrastructure investments, and new regulatory frameworks create a favorable environment for further integration of Solana into financial systems.
