Context

Solana gave token holders direct say on inflation and fees through binding votes. SGP-0002 put that system to its first real test on a key economic setting. Passage speeds up the SOL supply squeeze as institutional products win regulatory nods.

Validators still argue over how fast issuance should drop.

A companion fee burn hike fell short.

Details

SGP-0002 won 67 percent support. That equals 176.29 million SOL votes in favor and 66.19 million against. The change moves the 1.5 percent inflation target up to 2029. CoinDesk and Yahoo Finance logged 1,326 votes at 60.7 percent quorum.

A fee burn increase failed despite the win on SGP-0002. Multiple Solana ETPs got trading approval simultaneously. These include 21Shares TSOL, Morgan Stanley products, and Franklin SOEZ.

They represent the third approved crypto ETP category after bitcoin and ethereum.

Kraken validators delivered the late swing that sealed it.

Outlook

Validators and token holders now watch for real issuance drops. They also track how the new ETPs trade in their first weeks.
