Huge insights from Hadley Stern @hadleystern of @MarinadeFinance on the future of Solana.

A staking-enabled $SOL ETF could hit the market as early as Oct/Nov. But here's the alpha: the real challenge is avoiding the massive centralization risk we saw with the BTC ETFs.

Marinade is tackling this head-on, pushing decentralized NATIVE staking pools for institutions. This is absolutely critical for the long-term health of the network.

And get this - they're piloting "Recipes" where you can stake $SOL and earn rewards directly in $BTC. The future of DeFi is getting seriously creative.

Is a decentralized, staking-enabled $SOL ETF the ultimate catalyst we've been waiting for? 🤔
