Solana Staking Deposits Reach $730M as VanEck Lists SOL ETF

Solana's price dipped to $143 on June 18, marking a 9% decline. Despite this, on-chain metrics indicate key stakeholders are focusing on long-term recovery. The cryptocurrency bounced back above $145 due to news about the listing of VanEck’s Solana ETF on the DTCC.

Key Points

  • VanEck’s Solana ETF listed as “active and pre-launch” by DTCC.
  • US SEC extended altcoin ETF review timelines until H2 2025.
  • Staking deposits increased from 392.4 million SOL to 397.7 million SOL since June 13, valued at approximately $730 million.
  • Increased staking during market downturn signals investor confidence in Solana’s long-term value.
  • Short-term forecasts remain bearish; multi-day closes below $140 could lead to further declines.
  • Resistance levels: reclaiming $153 needed for bullish momentum; breakout above $164.23 may signal reversal.

Amidst this volatility, investors are also showing interest in utility-driven presale tokens like Best Wallet ($BEST), which has raised over $13.4 million in its presale.
