Solana ETF demand keeps drawing considerable investment capital because the Solana validators have already endorsed an important governance initiative that aims at decreasing future SOL minting.
The proposed resolution, which is called SGP-0002, Double Disinflation, was supported by 67% of people in the final vote. 25.16% rejected the proposal, whereas 7.84% abstained from the voting process.
Solana to Reach 1.5% Inflation Target Faster
With the adoption of SGP-0002, the yearly disinflation of Solana will rise from 15% to 30%. Nonetheless, the ultimate target for the network’s inflation will be maintained at 1.5%.
The new plan sees Solana achieve the terminal inflation level in about 2.8 years compared to about 5.7 years in the previous plan, according to Solana Compass.
The reduction in issuance happening much faster will lead to the creation of about 18.9 million fewer SOL in the following six years. It will decrease the number of newly issued SOL coins and help avoid dilution for those who already own SOL.
On the other hand, a slower issuance may cause lower staking earnings for validators and delegators.

Major Solana Participants Split Over the Proposal
Stakeholders in Solana took various stances during the governance process. For instance, Figment, which held approximately 17.1 million SOL and is the largest voting participant in the finalized governance data, voted against SGP-0002 altogether. However, Helius and Jupiter supported the idea immensely.
There was another change that occurred with the Kraken exchange when it came to its voting stance. Initially, the US-based exchange had opposed SGP-0002 with its vote at 12:33 UTC.
However, at the end of the vote, well over 90% of Kraken’s 8.9 million SOL voting power was in favor of the proposal.
It was the first time that this had happened under Solana’s new binding governance. Moreover, the validators of Solana supported the Solana Constitution rather than the fees proposal.
Solana ETF Assets Reach $1 Billion
The governance decision follows on from the continuing Solana ETF strength in the US market, amid the weak price performance of SOL earlier in the year.
The Bitwise Solana ETF has now crossed the $1 billion mark in assets, becoming the first Solana ETF to do so, as per data from Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
According to Balchunas, the Solana ETF offerings in US exchanges have managed to gain an inflow of around $1.7 billion cumulatively since inception, with very few cases of sustained outflows.
The ongoing demand for the Solana ETF market can be considered an additional critical consideration in the wider future outlook of Solana. On the other hand, the relatively quick drop in SOL issuance can affect the token’s supply in the coming years.
Considering the ongoing trend of lower issuance and institutional investments through products like ETFs, Solana is poised to enter a critical phase.
