Asset management firm CoinShares has reportedly submitted an application (S-1) for a Solana (SOL) spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).
On the 16th (local time), Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on X (formerly Twitter), "This morning, CoinShares submitted a Solana spot ETF application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)," and added, "There are now eight Solana ETF applicants." However, the prospects for a rapid approval of the Solana spot ETF appear to be slim. The previous day, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart commented that "it will be difficult for the Solana spot ETF to be approved next week," noting that the approval process for Bitcoin spot ETFs also involved several months of repeated document submissions and adjustments. According to Bloomberg, the probability of Solana ETF approval within the year is projected to be 90%.
