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.

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.
