Brown explained that VanEck’s decision to file for a Solana ETF is grounded in the belief that SOL, Solana’s native token, functions similarly to other digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Paralleling the role of ether on the Ethereum network, SOL is utilized for paying transaction fees and computational services on the Solana blockchain.
Key Information on 21Shares Filing
In this article, we discuss the key aspects in detailed of 21Shares filing a registration statement with the SEC for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on Solana (SOL):
- Investment Objective: The ETF aims to track the performance of Solana (SOL), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and liabilities.
- Operational Structure: 21Shares US LLC sponsors the Trust, with CSC Delaware Trust Company as the trustee and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC as the custodian.
- Authorized Participants: Shares are created and redeemed by Authorized Participants depositing cash, with SOL being transferred in and out of the Trust in blocks of 10,000 shares (Baskets).
- Public Offering: The ETF’s shares will be offered to the public, with initial Seed Creation Baskets purchased at $50.00 per share.
- Market Context: This filing by 21Shares follows VanEck’s similar move, highlighting increasing interest in Solana-based ETFs in the US market.
As CNF proposed, if VanEck files for the first Solana ETF in the US, will SOL’s price skyrocket? at the time of writing, Solana (SOL) is trading at $148.46 with an increase of 6.20% in the past day and a surge of 16.48% in the past week, indicating a skyrocketing pattern in SOL’s price.
