The rumours of CME bringing Solana (SOL) futures have been laid to rest. CME does not have any intention of launching a Solana futures fund.
Justin Bons of Cyber Capital also recently responded to criticisms of the Solana network regarding the efficiency of its operations. As opposed to other opinions that the network often fails under load, Bons conducted tests to show that everything works smoothly and efficiently.
More than 20 transactions were made through the Phantom wallet without any of them failing, which shows that the so-called “TX failure rate” is not due to users’ experience but rather fake bot transactions.
Bons also added that though Solana did face problems with the networking layer QUIC, constant modifications are improving the network’s efficiency. Thus, as per the conclusions reached by him, such criticisms are mostly unfounded or greatly exaggerated.
According to James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, the barriers to entry might take several years to dismantle, meaning that the public may not be able to invest in a Solana ETF in the near future. One important factor he highlighted was that a futures market that is regulated by the CFTC is still needed, this might entail the passing of legislation similar to the FIT21 bill.
Solana is not as bad as it is portrayed by critics. Thus, the issue with Solana ETF remains open due to regulatory concerns, although the consistent development of the network looks quite optimistic for the users of Solana.
