CoinShares has officially entered the race for the Solana spot ETF, as confirmed by Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas on June 16. This development marks an increase in the number of applicants competing for regulatory approval, now totaling eight participants. The move underscores growing institutional interest in Solana-based investment products within the cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund landscape. Earlier reports from COINOTAG indicated that CoinShares had registered its Solana ETF in Delaware on June 11, signaling a strategic step toward market expansion. This influx of applications reflects heightened investor demand for diversified exposure to Solana’s blockchain ecosystem through regulated financial instruments, reinforcing the asset’s prominence in the crypto investment sector.
