Solana (SOL) saw strong price performance in Q4 2024, surpassing both Ethereum and Bitcoin. The potential for a Solana ETF is driving investor interest, with several firms awaiting SEC approval.
Since August, SOL has faced consistent selling pressure whenever it approached the $160 threshold. Its ability to break and hold above the $200 mark has been seen as critical to its recovery trajectory. Analysts previously projected that overcoming these key resistance levels could propel SOL toward retesting its all-time high in the $250-$265 range.
In a post on X, Glassnode, a prominent on-chain analytics platform, highlighted a notable performance shift between Ethereum and Solana during Q4, 2024. Solana outpaced both Ethereum and Bitcoin in price performance for much of the quarter.Looking at price performance, SOL outpaced both ETH and BTC for most of Q4 2024. However, since early December, ETH has taken the lead, outperforming the other two assets.This outperformance may have been fueled by heightened investor interest and momentum within the Solana meme coin community. Additionally, Solana experienced a faster expansion in its realized cap compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. By early December, SOL demonstrated a robust weekly capital inflow of over 5%.A growing number of firms, including VanEck, Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise and Canary Capital, are actively pursuing approval for a Solana ETF. These spot Solana ETF applications are currently under review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with preliminary decisions expected in late January 2025.Grayscale's application faces a Jan. 23 deadline, while the other four applicants anticipate preliminary decisions by Jan. 25, marking 45 days since their applications were submitted for review in November 2024. Despite the strong demand for a Solana ETF, no approval has been granted so far, leaving 2024 without such a product. Nate Geraci, president of the ETF Store, has expressed optimism about this timeline, aligning with broader market expectations. Many industry participants believe the potential change in U.S. regulatory stance towards digital assets could significantly impact the approval process
