Blockchain-enabled ETF to list on NYSE's Arca Exchange

Grayscale Files S-1 with SEC for Solana ETF

Grayscale Investments, a leading digital asset manager, has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on the Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency.

The proposed ETF, dubbed Grayscale Solana Trust, aims to track the performance of SOL, which has gained significant attention in recent months due to its growing adoption and innovative use cases. The fund will hold SOL tokens and will be designed to provide investors with a straightforward and cost-effective way to gain exposure to the Solana ecosystem.

Grayscale's move to launch an SOL-focused ETF comes as the cryptocurrency market continues to experience significant growth and mainstream adoption. The company has been at the forefront of digital asset innovation, having launched several successful ETFs in the past, including the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE).

The Grayscale Solana Trust will be an actively managed ETF, with a management fee of 0.95%. The fund will be listed on a major US exchange, although the specific exchange has not been disclosed at this time.

In a statement, Grayscale's CEO, Michael Sonnenshein, highlighted the potential of the Solana ecosystem, saying:

"We believe that Solana has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about blockchain and cryptocurrency. With its fast transaction times, low fees, and innovative use cases, Solana is poised to play a significant role in the future of digital assets. We're excited to offer investors a way to gain exposure to this exciting opportunity through our new ETF."

The registration statement filed with the SEC is subject to review and approval by the regulatory body. If approved, the Grayscale Solana Trust will be the first publicly traded ETF to focus specifically on the Solana cryptocurrency.
