Major Takeaways

• In June, investment giants VanEck and 21Shares are making a big move by filing 19b-4 forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch Solana (SOL) spot exchange traded funds (ETFs). This step represents a huge milestone for the regulatory process and it aims to get approval to list these ETFs on the Cboe BZX Exchange.
• On Monday, July 8, exchange operator Cboe Global Markets filed “19b-4” application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking to list exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to cryptocurrency Solana, requiring the agency to make a decision by March.

Cboe Files for SEC Approval to List Solana ETFs

In July 8, the head of digital assets research at VanEck, Matthew Sigel, informed twitter that CBOE has filed their 19b-4 form for Solana ETF with the SEC.

Just a few days ago, VanEck filed form S-1 on June 27 2024, followed closely by 21Shares on June 28, 2024. Notably, this isn’t the first time VanEck and 21Shares have tried to introduce Solana ETFs. They’ve been pushing for this for months by highlighting their dedication to expanding cryptocurrency investment options. Their earlier attempts faced regulatory roadblocks but there is no sign of giving up from their side.

“We are now addressing the increasing investor interest in Solana – one of the most actively traded cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and Ether,” said Rob Marrocco, global head of ETP Listings at Cboe.

Notably, VanEck and 21Shares aren’t just focusing on Solana, they’ve also been making significant progress with Ethereum (ETH) ETFs. At present, VanEck, 21Shares and other issuers are also waiting on the final green light from the SEC to launch ETFs tied to the spot price of the second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum.

Significance of Cboe Filing for SEC Approval to List Solana ETFs

There is no doubt that this progress is a huge step in favor of crypto. These ETFs are designed to give investors direct exposure to Solana by tracking its spot price, without engaging in staking activities, a likely decision due to the current regulatory uncertainties around crypto staking. If approved, the products would mark a third wave of spot cryptocurrency ETFs, after the SEC in January approved ETFs tied to the price of bitcoin, in a watershed for the industry.

Experts believe that if these ETFs get approved, Solana’s liquidity and trading volume are expected to see huge rise. When the news about the initial filed got into air, the price of Solana spiked. At present, Solana is traded at +6.92 %, witnessing a price fluctuation of +6.92 % over the past 24 hours and a minor price change of +1.94 % over the past hour.

However, there are still some problems. The SEC still sees SOL as a security and there’s no regulated futures market for Solana yet, which the SEC thinks is really important for ETF approval.
