21Shares filed an S-1 application with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) on June 28. The fund will be called the 21Shares Core Solana ETF. This is the second application the SEC has received for a spot SOL ETF, following VanEck’s filing on June 27.
The <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2028834/000121390024057001/ea0208625-s1_21shares.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">proposed</a> ETF will trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange. Coinbase will serve as the custodian for the fund’s Solana (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index">SOL</a>) holdings, which will be insured privately. The fund’s assets will be held in segregated wallets on the Solana blockchain. 
The fund will not participate in validating or staking SOL. The intra-day value of shares will be calculated every 15 seconds. The value of SOL in the fund will be determined daily at 4:00 pm ET (09:00 pm UTC).

21Shares applied for a spot ETH ETF on May 31, called the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF, after ARK Invest <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ark-invest-ends-partnership-with-21shares-over-ethereum-etf">ended its partnership</a> with the company for that application. The ARK 21Shares spot ETH ETF 19b-4 filing was approved by the SEC on May 23. The SEC approves S-1 filings separately after 19b-4 filings. The partners had originally planned to offer an ETH ETF with staking, but <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ark-invest-21shares-drop-staking-from-ethereum-etf-proposal">changed their plans</a>.&nbsp;
SOL is the fifth largest crypto by market cap. The Solana blockchain has been criticized for frequent outages and slow processing when congested.
