Officials at Grayscale reportedly claim that converting the trust into a spot ETF will provide investors with safe exposure to Solana.

Grayscale Investments has taken a big step by filing for a Solana ETF with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

This move comes days after President Trump’s inauguration, which sparked a mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies.

What Grayscale’s Solana ETF Means

Grayscale’s proposed ETF is the largest Solana investment fund worldwide. The fund accounts for 0.0% of all Solana in circulation and manages around $134.2 million in assets. Right now, the fund operates as a trust, meaning it’s not yet an exchange-traded product (ETP).

Officials at Grayscale reportedly claim that converting the trust into a spot ETF will provide investors with safe exposure to Solana. Interestingly, Solana has been one of the standout cryptocurrencies over the last year, so trading on a national securities exchange would make it appealing to investors.

The goal of the Solana ETF is simple: to match the value of SOL held in the trust, minus any expenses. It offers a way for investors to gain exposure to Solana without buying the cryptocurrency directly.

Grayscale isn’t the only asset manager interested in a Solana ETF. Canary Capital, 21Shares, Bitwise, and VanEck have all expressed interest. However, Grayscale’s ambitions go beyond Solana. The asset manager has its eyes on a spot Litecoin ETF. Such a move signals that Grayscale, like most asset managers, has growing confidence in crypto as a legitimate investment.

Despite being one of the most wanted crypto assets, Solana’s price hasn’t been attractive lately. SOL has been down 11% in the last 24 hours, marking a major decline. Other major cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and XRP have recorded major decreases recently.
