The Cboe has submitted a filing to list the Invesco Galaxy Solana ETF, signaling a significant shift in the U.S. crypto ETF landscape. This would expand beyond the predominant Bitcoin and Ethereum offerings currently available. Invesco Capital Management LLC, Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., and Cboe BZX Exchange are key participants in this initiative. This proposed ETF listing is a crucial step towards institutionalizing Solana through ETF offerings.

The immediate effect on markets can be significant, with institutional investors likely to increase interest in Solana-related assets. The ETF’s introduction is seen as an expansion of available crypto investment products in the U.S. market. Financing and infrastructure are supported by Bank of New York Mellon and Coinbase Custody Trust Company. Although capital specifics remain undisclosed, institutional anticipation suggests potential for expanded market engagement.

Historical precedents like the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs indicate potential price rallies upon ETF approvals. The Solana ETF could mirror such outcomes in terms of institutional access and broader market integration. The timing of the ETF’s launch, coupled with regulatory approvals, is critical. James Seyffart of Bloomberg anticipates crypto ETF approval by early Q4 2025, stating:

Delays on spot crypto ETFs are expected… [but] approvals are ‘more likely’ to be in early Q4, 2025.
