Invesco and Galaxy Register Solana ETF Trust in Delaware

Invesco and Galaxy Asset Management have registered the “Invesco Galaxy Solana Trust” in Delaware on June 13, 2025, aiming to launch a Solana ETF.

High institutional interest in crypto ETFs signals potential expansion within the market, influencing Solana’s position among Layer-1 blockchains.

The registration was a joint effort by Invesco Ltd. and Galaxy Digital, aiming to capitalize on the growing demand for cryptocurrency ETFs. While Invesco manages $1.7 trillion in assets, Galaxy Digital is known for its crypto services expertise. Their combined initiative marks a notable attempt to introduce a Solana-focused ETF.

Despite the registration, neither Invesco’s nor Galaxy Digital’s leadership has commented on the move. The filing does not yet disclose fund specifics. SEC involvement signals regulatory interest in managing Solana staking strategies.

The filing could positively affect Solana (SOL), drawing institutional attention to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. It may prompt interest in Layer-1 blockchains like Avalanche and Ethereum, although Solana remains the primary target.

This move echoes past successful approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, suggesting potential market dynamics changes. Altcoins may experience price shifts if regulatory processes favor Solana, underscoring the rise of new asset categories amid cautious market optimism.

Future regulatory discussions and technological assessments will determine the ETF’s approval and implementation, with increased scrutiny from the SEC noted. Institutional interest in staking and redemptions for Solana ETFs could set precedents for other altcoin instruments, potentially impacting market structures.

“There’s speculation that BlackRock may also file for a Solana ETF soon.”
