Volatility Shares Solana ETFs Seek SEC Approval

The Volatility Shares Solana ETFs will be based on Solana’s future contracts and will provide 1x, 2x, and -1x leveraged exposure.

Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, said the firm had filed an application for an exchange-traded, open-end index fund linked to Solana futures that would trade only on exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Leveraged ETFs let investors multiply possible returns or losses and are super popular in traditional finance markets.

Leveraged Solana ETFs Might Be A Milestone Setter in the US Crypto Market

The proposed Volatility Shares Solana ETFs are coming at a time when the success of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, together with a more friendly regulatory environment to cryptocurrency, is driving optimism in the crypto asset market. These events have increased confidence in the potential approval of Solana ETFs in the near future.

If approved by the SEC, the Volatility Shares Solana ETFs would be the first set of leveraged Solana ETFs available to U.S. markets. In May, Volatility Shares launched the Volatility Shares 2x Ether ETF (ETHU), the first leveraged Ethereum ETF in the United States.
