The post Solana ETF Filings Surge as Fidelity, Franklin, and Grayscale Join the Race appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Crypto ETFs are stealing the spotlight as filings, approvals, and new products gather pace.
The mix of Wall Street institutions and crypto-native firms rushing into the space could change how investors gain exposure to digital assets.
The next few weeks may set the stage for a breakthrough. Here’s why.
Major Players File S-1 Amendments for Spot Solana ETFs
Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, recently shared that a flurry of S-1 amendments were filed on spot Solana ETFs from major players such as Franklin, Fidelity, CoinShares, Bitwise, Grayscale, VanEck, and Canary.
He pointed out that these filings even include staking components, a positive sign for future spot Ethereum ETF products. He expects that the approvals could land within the next two weeks, fueling even more optimism across the industry.
Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart also shared that this is a sign that both issuers and the SEC are moving things forward.
Solana ETFs See Strong Demand
This momentum comes after the launch of the REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF in July, the first of its kind in the U.S. REX Osprey also recently launched the first Ethereum staking ETF in the U.S., marking a major milestone for investors.
Building on the recent buzz around Solana ETFs, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley shared that $60 million was invested in the Europe Bitwise Solana Staking ETP this week, highlighting strong investor interest in Solana.
Cyber Hornet Targets S&P-Crypto ETFs
While Solana leads the headlines, Cyber Hornet is carving a different path. The company has filed with the SEC to launch ETFs that combine exposure to the S&P 500 with cryptocurrencies. Each proposed fund would hold 75% in the S&P 500 and 25% in a specific digital asset.
The proposed ETFs include the Cyber Hornet S&P 500 and Ethereum 75/25 Strategy ETF (EEE), the S&P 500 and Solana 75/25 Strategy ETF (SSS), and the S&P 500 and XRP 75/25 Strategy ETF (XXX).
These filings reflect the rising trend of combining traditional Wall Street indices with cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin.
Breakthrough Month Ahead?
Geraci notes how wild the past two weeks have been for crypto ETFs. The industry saw the first spot XRP and Doge ETFs launch, the SEC sign off on new generic listing standards, the debut of an index-based spot crypto ETF, and even the first Ethereum staking ETF. To top it off, Bitwise jumped in with a “hype” ETF filing.
Meanwhile, Vanguard, the world’s second-largest asset manager, is now preparing to provide access to crypto ETFs on its brokerage platform, marking a significant shift in stance.
“Get ready for October,” he said, signaling that the next few weeks could be a game-changer for crypto ETFs.
