Bitwise Submits Filing Joining VanEck, Canary Capital

Asset manager Bitwise Invest is the latest to submit its documents for filing spot Solana ETF. With this filing, Bitwise is now in a race with other market players like VanEck and Canary Capital to bring the SOL ETFs to the market. The filing comes at a time when the SOL price is just 10% away from hitting a fresh all-time high.

Bitwise Files for Spot Solana ETF

According to the State of Delaware’s Division of Corporations website, Bitwise has currently registered a statutory trust for its proposed Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF). Notably, this is just registration and the asset manager needs to do more groundwork filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To join VanEck and Canary Capital in Solana ETF race, Bitwise needs to submit the 19b-4 and S-1 forms to the US SEC. However, the asset manager has been steadfast in its approach to crypto ETFs, with Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Ethereum ETF (ETHW) already trading on Wall Street. Last month, the asset manager filed for the spot XRP ETF.

With Donald Trump set to take charge of the White House in January 2025, the euphoria for spot Solana ETF has increased tremendously. Under the Trump administration, there’s renewed hope for a crypto regulatory framework and more clarity. The Trump-Vance transition team is holding discussions with crypto industry players to set up a White House post that will look into crypto policies.

Demand Grows for XRP, HBAR, DOGE ETF

Citing this wave of developments in the crypto ETF space, ETF Store President Nate Geraci said that there are ongoing spot ETF filings for several major cryptocurrencies, including Solana (SOL), Ripple’s XRP, and Hedera (HBAR). Last week, Canary Capital submitted the first filing for a spot HBAR ETF.

He also speculated that ETF issuers could expand their offerings further to other assets like Cardano (ADA) and Avalanche (AVAX). Commenting on this, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that he expects a DOGE ETF filing to arrive by December 31, 2024. This comes amid the mega Dogecoin price rally so far in November.

The Solana price remained firm at its crucial resistance level of $240. Market analysts are predicting a new all-time high for SOL with a rally past $300 by the year-end. Currently, it’s a tough fight between the bulls and the bears, as the market awaits another catalyst for further rally amid anticipation for spot Solana ETF.
