Grayscale Investments is making moves to introduce a Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF), as revealed in a recent filing with the New York Stock Exchange.
This follows the NYSE’s approval for Bitcoin ETF options trading, potentially setting the stage for the first-ever Solana-focused ETF.
Crypto-based ETFs have dominated 2024, with the SEC approving spot Bitcoin ETFs early in the year, driving Bitcoin to an all-time high in March. Ethereum ETFs soon followed, and now attention is shifting to altcoins like Solana, which is poised to lead the next wave of ETF launches.
Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust has already achieved significant success since its January debut. The firm’s Solana Trust, managing $134.2 million in assets—or roughly 0.1% of all SOL in circulation—is currently the largest SOL-focused fund. Grayscale aims to convert this trust into a spot ETP, providing a secure and regulated investment avenue for Solana on a recognized exchange.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved the conversion of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund into an exchange-traded fund (ETF), finalizing its transition from an over-the-counter product into a fully regulated ETF structure.
