Solana runs stably for a year without failure, VanEck accelerates SOL layout, canary releases ETF application attracts market attention

On February 6th, it was reported that the Solana network has been running stably for a full year without major downtimes or failures, setting the longest downtime-free record in the history of the blockchain. This progress further highlights Solana's significant improvement in performance and reliability, providing more solid technical support for decentralized applications and institutional deployments.

 

In the field of institutional investment, VanEck Digital Asset Chief Research Officer Matthew Sigel revealed yesterday that Interactive Brokers, an online brokerage company with a market value of $100 billion, is planning to expand its range of cryptocurrency products. After regulatory clarity, the first cryptocurrency asset to be launched will be SOL. Currently, the upper limit of clients' cryptocurrency asset allocation ratio is about 1%, and it is expected to be further improved in the future.

 

Meanwhile, Canary Release (Grayscale) is actively promoting the application of Solana ETF. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated on social media that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially accepted the 19b-4 application of Grayscale Solana ETF, and the final approval deadline is expected to be around mid-October. Due to the SEC's cautious attitude towards Solana-related applications before, this acceptance is seen as a noteworthy development that may give SOL more opportunities in traditional Financial Marekt.

 

Overall, the continued stability of the Solana mainnet, coupled with multiple institutions accelerating their layout of SOL, is attracting more funds and attention to the blockchain ecosystem. The subsequent development and regulatory trends are worth investors' continued attention.
