Solana News: Canary Capital Files for Solana Spot ETF – Will SEC Approve?
Canary Capital files for a Solana spot ETF to provide institutional investors with exposure to the fast-growing altcoin.
The firm has also filed for spot Litecoin and XRP ETFs, showing its focus on the altcoin market.
Solana's strong DeFi ecosystem, low fees, and growing mainstream adoption have fueled price gains.
As Solana’s role in the Web3 space expands, Canary Capital, led by Steven McClurg—a founding member of Valkyrie Funds—has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot Solana (SOL) ETF. This move, announced on October 30, aims to provide a secure and liquid gateway for institutions to invest in one of the fastest-growing altcoins on the market.
Canary Capital has aggressively doubled down on its focus in the altcoin market despite the low traction registered with the Spot Ether ETFs. Already, the firm has filed for a spot Litecoin (LTC) ETF and spot XRP ETF, which may be approved next year. The firm’s first altcoin offering was the Canary HBAR Trust, which ensures institutional investors have access to the growing Hedera network.
We’re being spoiled for options! Here are the details you should know.
Global Momentum for Solana ETFs
Interest in Solana ETFs has spurred filings across multiple regions. Earlier this year, Brazil’s Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) approved two Solana spot ETFs, which are expected to launch soon.
In Canada, 3iQ applied to list a Solana exchange-traded product (ETP) on the Toronto Stock Exchange, while VanEck has also submitted a Solana ETF application to the U.S. SEC.
“Solana’s robust DeFi ecosystem has led to strong sustained on-chain analytics as measured by transactions per day, active addresses, and new addresses while maintaining a low fee environment for all consumers. Future growth in native on-chain stablecoin deployment will also likely further accelerate the commanding lead Solana maintains over its peers,” Canary Capital noted.
SOL Price Action Analysis
Compared to other altcoins, Solana’s price has shown significant growth amid rising mainstream adoption. With a fully diluted valuation close to $102 billion and daily trading volume around $4 billion, SOL appears positioned for a potential breakout to new highs, following a path similar to Bitcoin’s past gains.
Technically, SOL needs to consistently close above its macro downtrend line and surpass July’s peak to avoid a short-term pullback. If unable to maintain these levels, SOL may test support around $128.
With Solana’s rapid growth and Canary Capital’s strategic move, the future of crypto investing is looking more exciting than ever. What do you think?
