Filings for two Solana-based ETFs, designated SR-CboeBZX-2024-066 and SR-CboeBZX-2024-067, have disappeared from the public domain, leading to speculation as to whether they have been withdrawn.
These ETFs, filed by Cboe in June 2024 and followed by 19b-4 forms filed in July, have yet to receive a notice of filing from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), adding to the uncertainty over their approval.
In contrast, Brazil is moving forward with its own Solana-backed ETF, led by QR Asset and Vortx. Although awaiting final approval from the Brazilian Stock Exchange, this ETF could have a significant impact on Brazil’s financial market.
In the U.S., however, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s cautious approach to Solana as a financial security casts doubt on the future of Solana-based ETFs.
Large asset managers like BlackRock have shown minimal interest, reflecting broader skepticism about the potential impact of these products on the U.S. crypto market. However, other SOL-related proposals are in development in both the U.S. and Brazil, although their success remains uncertain.
Forms 19b-4 for VanEck and 21Shares Solana ETFs appear to have been removed from the CBOE website.

While Bitcoin continues to capture attention with its strong 2025 outlook, several altcoins may be facing near-term turbulence.
BlackRock is making another assertive move into digital assets, quietly expanding its crypto portfolio with sizable purchases of both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Ethereum appears to be entering a pivotal stage, with subtle shifts across its ecosystem hinting at a potential breakout.
Ethereum could one day surpass Bitcoin in value, not through speculation, but by anchoring a new kind of financial system, according to a key blockchain executive.
