What, you may ask, has sparked this sudden enthusiasm? The answer lies in the fickle nature of the market, where a mere whisper of a potential Solana ETF approval in the U.S. has sent traders into a frenzy. With Paul Atkins now at the helm of the SEC, the betting odds on Polymarket for a SOL ETF approval in 2025 have climbed to a staggering 76%.
