Imagine a world where the ever-enthusiastic cryptocurrency custodians at Grayscale decide to take their Solana Trust on an adventurous journey from a mere trust to a full-blown ETF, all while skipping the juicy part of staking. Yes, you heard it right! Grayscale has thrown their S-1 form into the SEC’s lap, hoping to transform their Solana stash into something you can trade before you finish your morning coffee. But alas, no staking here, folks! Just a straightforward, no-frills Solana ETF. 🤷♂️
Grayscale’s Bold Leap into the ETF Universe
According to the freshly minted filing, this ETF, which once went by the less glamorous name of Grayscale Solana Trust (SOL), is set to strut its stuff on the NYSE Arca exchange. If the stars align and the SEC nods in approval, it’ll don a new cape as the Grayscale Solana Trust ETF. A superhero transformation, indeed! 🦸♂️
Grayscale has submitted the Solana ETF’s S-1 form to the US SEC, changing the name of Grayscale Solana Trust to Grayscale Solana Trust ETF. This ETF will not take any SOL staking function.

This ETF is planning to cozy up to SOL tokens, using the CoinDesk Solana Price Index (SLX) as its trusty sidekick. Grayscale isn’t going it alone; they’ve roped in Coinbase as the prime broker and custodian, while the Bank of New York Mellon plays the role of the reliable transfer agent and administrator. It’s like assembling the Avengers, but for finance. 🚀
Not to be outdone, Fidelity took a similar plunge earlier this year, hinting that Solana is the new hot ticket in town. Everyone wants a piece of the Solana pie, staking or no staking!
Staking? We Don’t Need No Staking!
While the cool kids holding SOL can stake their tokens and rake in rewards, Grayscale’s ETF is taking a more conservative route, deciding to sit this dance out. No staking means no extra rewards for the investors, but hey, it also means fewer regulatory headaches. Maybe it’s a smart move, or maybe it’s like going to a buffet and only eating salad. 🥗
Will2025 Be the Year of the Solana ETF?
The crypto crystal ball over at Polymarket is showing a rosy83% chance of the Solana ETF getting the green light in2025. With a more crypto-friendly breeze blowing through regulatory corridors, especially after a shuffle in the U.S. leadership, investors are practically dancing in anticipation. 🎉
Solana’s Star on the Rise
Right now, Solana is basking in the glow of a $116 price tag, up2% in the last24 hours, with a market cap that’s inching towards a cool $59.6 billion. Trading volume has seen a meteoric rise from $5 billion in January to a whopping $12.6 billion by March2025. Solana isn’t just knocking on the door of the big leagues; it’s ready to kick it down. 💥
As we all hold our breath for the SEC’s verdict, one thing’s for sure: Solana is poised to make waves, ETF or no ETF. So grab your popcorn, folks; the crypto show is about to get interesting. 🍿
