Robinhood ‘scales’ up with two more tokens in its hood

May 7, 2022 by Aishwarya shashikumar

Robinhood has included Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) to its list of assets accessible for trading on its platform, according to Barry Silbert, founder of DCG (Grayscale parent).

Among the most prominent publicly-traded Bitcoin funds is Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). Since its launch in 2013, GBTC has grown to handle over $25 billion in net assets and garnered nearly 100 institutional investors.

Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) is fully and effectively invested in ETH, enabling investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency through securities without the hassles of purchasing, storing, and preserving ETH directly.

Robinhood’s cowl got bigger with crypto assets

Robinhood revealed the addition of four new crypto assets to its platform in April, including Compound, Polygon, Solana, and Shiba Inu, with more on the way.

Shiba Inu has finally appeared in Robinhood’s trading list, along with four new cryptocurrencies on its platform, after a long wait. Other assets featured include Solana’s SOL, Polygon’s MATIC, and Compound’s COMP, in addition to the meme coin.

All of the mentioned tokens’ prices have risen since the update. Robinhood’s stock rose 5% since the announcement. Other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Solana, have also made progress.

Shiba Inu supporters rallied for the asset to be featured on the site, even going so far as to start a change petition, which gathered as many as 550,000 signatures in support of the idea.

Before adding the new currencies to its offers, the commission-free trading platform in the United States said it was carefully evaluating all issues such as consumer demand, its listing committee discusses factors such as on-chain analysis, security, and legal and financial variables, among others.

Bitcoin [BTC], ether [ETH], and dogecoin [DOGE] were among the seven cryptocurrencies supported by Robinhood.

According to DogeWhaleAlert, a Twitter account dedicated to DOGE transactions, Robinhood continues to retain Dogecoin on behalf of its consumers.

#Robinhood's 🪶 two known wallets—3334959 & 1699275—use eight known addresses. The total combined amount of #Dogecoin held by RH 🪶 on behalf of its investors is:

40,762,000,976 $DOGE

30.72% of the circulating supplyhttps://t.co/iWz81VqfEE

Robinhood began giving out crypto wallets to the more than two million users on its waiting list the same month it listed SHIB, and it recently finished the rollout to all consumers.

Three Arrow Capital Becomes First Qualifier to Hold most GBTC Shares

June 12, 2020 by Richard M Adrian

Founded by Su Zhu and Kyle Davies, Three Arrows Capital hit the headlines back in April after investing in BlockFi. Singapore‘s registered hedge fund has resurfaced once again after becoming the first qualified investor to hold more than 5 percent of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares. The cryptocurrency hedge fund now owns 6.26 percent of GBTC shares..Su Zhulu, the co-founder, shared a bullish sentiment about the GBTC share market. The co-founder said :

“We are bullish on the GBTC demand,” Zhu told The Block. “Premium means inflows. There can be no premium without inflows.”

To date, the hedge fund has accumulated almost $259 million worth of GBTC shares. This is estimated at approximately 21 million GBTC shares or more than 20,230 bitcoins. Kyle Davis said that the Fund filed Schedule 13D form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC) today. The filing noted that the hedge fund currently holds 6.26% of GBTC shares, but SEC will publish the filing tomorrow.

Five days ago, Su Zhulu appeared on the Coinist Podcast, talking about Bitcoin’s “Bart Simpson” patterns. During the discussion, Zhulu dismissed the patterns as a result of bitcoin manipulation.

Not clear whether or not the amount includes bitcoin deposits from the hedge fund

Whether the Hedge fund deposited bitcoins in exchange for the shares is not yet clear, because the co-founders have not yet commented on the same.   Notably, most of these investments occur after institutional investors arbitrate premium. Popularly known as in-kind inflows, these arbitrage premiums are executed over the net asset value.

Davies said they anticipate fresh inflows as Nasdaq hits new all-time highs. Additionally, the stakes for strong inflows remain high with bitcoin trading near $10,000.

Grayscale  Bitcoin Trust Shares have high assets worth at least $3.65 under its belt. This figure represents the total amount of bitcoins that it holds in trust. The product of Grayscale witnessed in-kind inflows of 80 percent during the third quarter of 2019.

Best Crypto To Buy Under $1 For 10-20x Gains: Dogecoin, Cardano, Remittix and VeChain

May 2, 2025 by Vaigha Varghese

In a market dominated by four-figure tokens and institutional whales, the dream of catching the next 10x or 20x gem often feels out of reach. But some of crypto’s biggest success stories, think early Dogecoin or Cardano, started under $1. The sub-dollar zone is where quiet revolutions begin, and in 2025’s market cycle, that sweet spot is heating up again.

Dogecoin still has meme magic. Cardano boasts a loyal dev army. VeChain continues to lock down real-world utility. But there’s one newcomer turning heads: Remittix (RTX), a PayFi disruptor combining Ethereum tech with instant crypto-to-fiat payouts. At just $0.0757, it’s not just affordable; it’s aggressively ambitious.

If you’re hunting for the next big breakout without breaking the bank, these four tokens might just be your ticket. Let’s explore why each of them, veterans and rising stars alike, could deliver serious gains in the months ahead.

Remittix: Revolutionizing cross-border payments

Remittix (RTX) is emerging as a game-changer in the PayFi sector, offering near-instant crypto-to-fiat transfers that bypass traditional banking delays and fees. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, it aims to streamline global remittances, cut costs, and make international payments faster, more transparent and accessible for users around the world.

Source: Remittix

In its presale phase, Remittix has already raised over $14.6 million, indicating strong investor interest. Its integration with local payment networks ensures seamless payouts, making it a practical solution for real-world financial challenges. As the demand for efficient cross-border payment solutions grows, Remittix’s innovative approach positions it as a promising investment under $1.

Dogecoin: From meme to mainstream momentum

Highlighting its mainstream momentum, in 2024, DOGE surged 250%, outperforming major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This momentum is partly fueled by institutional interest, with Grayscale launching a Dogecoin Trust to provide investors with exposure to DOGE.

Source: CoinMarketCap

Per the chart above, Dogecoin is in a long-term uptrend within an ascending channel, with strong support between $0.07 and $0.12. It projects a potential price surge to $1.00 by 2027, following historical patterns of growth and correction. DOGE is certainly one to keep an eye out for.

Cardano edges toward breakout territory

Cardano (ADA) has long been the slow-burner in the crypto space, but that flame is starting to flare. ADA is now trading near its 20-day EMA, a key technical level that tracks short-term momentum and analysts are watching closely for a bullish crossover. 

AD 4nXdvl1lOE4tRTgi2jZs JbjBDQn c3nWzvtO1E9RboEGgABrwktHPNp8LyZAOHzkYks8RJDPgZjU2mdP0leWQ E 54vw8V ivifmeL7yd3Br LIqWPuyNoGO86iMmCWG g sV7duJw?key=i b10EsffPaz9 vsoV51FpgT

ADA 20-Day EMA. Source: TradingView

A successful break above this moving average would signal growing buying pressure and mark a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. It’s not just the charts flashing green. 

On-chain data from Santiment shows ADA’s Network Realized Profit/Loss (NPL) has turned negative, meaning most holders are at a loss, an often bullish signal indicating sell-side pressure is waning. With this setup, Cardano could finally be ready for liftoff.

VeChain goes green and gets going

VeChain has always stood out as a utility-driven blockchain, but now it’s doubling down on innovation. Its latest move? Launching dynamic staking with 5.3 billion VTHO in incentives, an aggressive push to reward long-term believers. The announcement came during a livestream featuring CEO Sunny Lu, who also spotlighted VeChain’s rapid expansion and eco-friendly roadmap. 

With real-world partnerships including Walmart China and BMW, VeChain’s transparent supply chain tech isn’t theoretical it’s operational. Trading under $0.05, it’s criminally undervalued for what it delivers. As sustainability becomes the next big narrative in crypto, VeChain is positioning itself not just as a token, but as a movement.

Final thoughts 

While Dogecoin rides memes and Cardano builds slowly, Remittix is racing ahead with real-world impact. It’s not just another crypto, it’s solving a trillion-dollar problem: cross-border payments. While others talk scalability, Remittix delivers, converting crypto to fiat in bank accounts worldwide, nearly instantly. 

As PayFi takes center stage, Remittix isn’t following trends, it’s setting them. That’s why it stands out as the smartest play among the under-$1 crowd.

Bitwise Registers NEAR ETF in Delaware to Launch Amid Surging Crypto Fund Demand

April 26, 2025 by Sheila

  • Bitwise registers a Bitwise NEAR ETF in Delaware, fueling optimism for a future SEC filing.
  • NEAR Protocol’s price rises over 6% after Bitwise’s Delaware ETF registration confirmation.
  • Bitwise expands its crypto ETF lineup as the SEC reviews dozens of new digital asset proposals.

Bitwise Asset Management has registered the “Bitwise NEAR ETF” in Delaware, signaling an early move toward offering a spot Near Protocol (NEAR) ETF in the United States. According to Delaware’s Division of Corporations, Bitwise filed the trust entity on April 24, marking the first official step before seeking regulatory approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Hunter Horsley, CEO and co-founder of Bitwise, confirmed the registration. This filing could pave the way for broader institutional access to the NEAR ecosystem as regulatory conditions for crypto-related ETFs continue to improve under the new U.S. administration.

Bitwise Expands ETF Plans as Regulatory Climate Shifts

Bitwise submitted its application amid increased optimism for the approval of cryptocurrency ETFs. SEC leadership under the present administration has shown more acceptance toward digital assets. The SEC first approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, while spot Ethereum ETFs received approval in July 2024 after a court supported Grayscale.

In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, asset managers such as Bitwise have pursued ETFs with increased dedication across various crypto assets. The asset manager has also submitted its registration documents to the SEC for Dogecoin, Aptos, Solana, and XRP ETFs. The firm demonstrates its continued interest in diversification through the NEAR filing, amid growing investor interest in altcoins.

Despite this momentum, the SEC delayed multiple ETF proposals, which include the Polkadot ETF from Grayscale and the HBAR ETF from Canary Capital. The extended review time highlights the regulator’s support for blockchain products: however, the agency follows a step-by-step evaluation process.

NEAR Price Responds Positively to ETF News

NEAR Protocol’s native token saw a significant price increase following the announcement of its registration for the ETF. According to CoinMarketCap data, the NEAR token saw a 6.5% price rise, with the current value at $2.60 per token. The NEAR token rose by more than 26% in the past week as investors showed confidence in the planned ETF development.

NEAR currently holds a market capitalization of about $3.14 billion, ranking it among the top 40 digital assets. Often referred to as “the blockchain for AI,” Near Protocol continues to position itself as a leading platform in the evolving blockchain sector.

Moreover, the proposed ETF by the asset manager would enable institutions to obtain direct exposure to the NEAR ecosystem after filing both S-1 and 19b-4 forms with the SEC. The proposed access would create better market participation and increased liquidity for the altcoin.

Bitwise Ethereum Products

The firm designs its products with deep expertise in both cryptocurrency and traditional finance. Bitwise offers regulated, transparent, and liquid crypto ETPs to boost adoption among professional investors.

Nasdaq Files for VanEck Avalanche ETF to Track AVAX Token

April 11, 2025 by Mwongera Taitumu

  • Nasdaq applies to list VanEck’s Avalanche ETF under SEC rules.
  • ETF will track AVAX price without investors holding tokens.
  • VanEck joins Grayscale in launching crypto-backed Avalanche ETFs.

Nasdaq submitted an application to the SEC to list the VanEck Avalanche ETF, which aims to provide investors with indirect access to AVAX tokens. The recent application marks a major step for Nasdaq’s expansion in the spot crypto product sector. If approved, the ETF will enable investors to track the price of the AVAX token without direct token ownership.

The VanEck Avalanche ETF seeks to hold tokens in trust to track the price of AVAX. VanEck Digital Assets will sponsor the trust, while a third institution will provide secure custody of the tokens. The ETF allows investors to access and track the AVAX price without the need for cryptocurrency wallets or trading platforms.

VanEck’s Crypto ETF Portfolio

VanEck continues to pursue the registration of spot crypto ETF products in the United States. On March 10, The company registered the product as a corporate trust service company in Delaware. The AVAX ETF application is the fourth independent crypto ETF application filed by VanEck with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana ETFs.

In March 2024, VanEck filed its first Solana-based ETF application, which made it one of the first issuers in the SOL ETF race. The firm demonstrates its dedication to crypto-based ETFs with the latest Avalanche ETF application. On March 14, VanEck announced their product application on social media channels.

Competitive Avalanche ETF Race 

Grayscale Investments also plans to launch its AVAX-backed ETF, as Nasdaq already submitted the application to list the product on March 28. Grayscale plans to convert its AVAX fund, launched in August 2024, into this new ETF. The competition between VanEck and Grayscale shows the increased demand for AVAX-backed investment products.

Exchange-traded products linked to AVAX have gained momentum, although the token faced market hurdles. The price of AVAX traded at $18.00 on April 10 after a 56% decrease from its $41.00 peak in January. The broader crypto market decline has reduced AVAX’s value, which signals potential volatility for the token in 2025.

Altcoin ETFs Attract Massive Interest

The Nasdaq filing is part of the race between asset managers to launch altcoin ETFs. Nasdaq recently submitted an application to the SEC to list Grayscale’s Avalanche ETF as well as other altcoin products. Additionally, asset managers have filed applications for ETFs linked to Solana, Dogecoin, Polkadot, and Cardano, which shows improved regulatory conditions.

VanEck’s recent applications show the increased market demand for altcoin ETFs. The company filed for a Binance Coin ETF in March, which makes it the first asset manager to offer such a product in the U.S. The future of the cryptocurrency market depends on SEC regulation as more asset managers join the crypto ETF race.

XRP ETF Surge with $5M Day-One Volume Surge on NYSE

April 9, 2025 by Bena Ilyas

  • Teucrium’s 2X Long Daily XRP ETF launched on NYSE Arca with $5 million in first-day volume
  • The ETF doubles the daily performance of Ripple, doubling both the gain as well as the loss for day traders.
  • Ripple’s $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road enhances its institutional presence, increasing Ripple’s market position.

Teucrium 2X Daily XRP ETF had an impressive launch on NYSE Arca, achieving $5 million in trading volume on its first day. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shared that XXRP’s volume places it in the top 5% of new ETF launches. He referred to the volume as “respectable,” with XXRP beating Solana’s launch volume, perhaps signaling enhanced demand for derivatives for Ripple.

$XXRP (2x XRP ETF) saw $5mil in volume on Day One, very respectable, esp considering the mkt conditions. That puts it in approx top 5% of new ETF launches, and about 4x what the 2x Solana ETF $SOLT did (altho both 200x less than King IBIT). pic.twitter.com/u3QQq5yuHv

— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) April 8, 2025

Although impressive, the $5 million debut of XXRP lags behind the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), whose $1 billion day one trading caught everyone’s attention. Meanwhile, analysts pointed out that in relation to comparable altcoins such as Solana, demand for leveraged Ripple exposure shows growing conviction among investors towards Ripple’s place within the digital currency market.

Teucrium’s 2X Long Daily XRP ETF Launches

Teucrium’s 2X Daily XRP ETF started trading on April 8, doubling the daily performance of Ripple for investors. For high-volatility, short-term plays, the ETF provides leveraged returns—gains as well as declines—making it a high-risk vehicle for experienced traders wagering on Ripple daily action.

The ETF doesn’t hold Ripple directly. Instead, it mirrors price movements through derivatives, allowing investors to speculate without owning the token or accessing crypto exchanges. With an expense ratio of 1.85%, it appeals to traders seeking exposure to Ripple’s volatility while bypassing wallet custody and digital asset platforms.

The SEC has not yet approved a spot XRP ETF, yet leveraged exposure now exists. Bloomberg’s Balchunas called this “very odd,” stating it’s perhaps the first time a leveraged ETF has preceded a spot version. However, progress is underway, with several spot XRP ETF applications under active SEC review.

Ripple Acquires Hidden Road for $1.25B

Ripple, leveraging lawsuit clarity, has announced a $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, a global multi-asset prime broker. This would make Ripple the first crypto firm to own such an entity, boosting institutional capabilities and enhancing infrastructure to support future Ripple-based investment vehicles.

As ETF momentum builds, Franklin Templeton’s filing for a spot XRP ETF through Cboe and Grayscale’s potential Ripple Trust conversion signal broad industry interest. Over 20 Ripple-related ETFs are in various stages of submission. These moves reinforce confidence in Ripple’s long-term role within traditional finance portfolios. 

In Brazil, the Hashdex Ripple spot ETF recently received regulatory approval, listing on B3. Following the announcement, Ripple price climbed 6%, echoing market optimism across global exchanges. As more regions embrace Ripple-based products, the token’s future as a mainstream financial asset appears increasingly secure.

SEC Confirms Fidelity’s Solana ETF as Approval Odds Skyrocket to 89%

April 4, 2025 by Lipika Deka

  • SEC acknowledge Fidelity’s SOL spot ETF filing, initiating the approval process; optimism grows for 2025 approval.
  • Major firms like Franklin Templeton join the SOL ETF race, signaling traditional finance’s expanding crypto interest.
  • Polymarket odds for SOL ETF approval in 2025 surge to 89%, despite earlier security classification concerns.

In a boost to Solana ETF prospects, the U.S. SEC has officially confirmed Fidelity’s filing application for an $SOL spot exchange-traded fund. While the move doesn’t indicate approval, it simply means that the process has just started. Earlier in March, Fidelity Investments first registered “Fidelity SOL Fund” as a statutory trust in Delaware before updating the filing with more details.

SEC Confirms Fidelity's Solana ETF as Approval Odds Skyrocket to 89% 9

Besides Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, with over $1.5 trillion AUM, has also filed a SOL-focused ETF that will track the cryptocurrency’s price without directly buying the asset. Other firms in this race include Grayscale, Bitwise, 21Shares, and VanEck. This shows how traditional finance is keen on expanding its crypto exposure footprint beyond Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs.

The SEC’s confirmation has also sparked a wave of optimism across crypto Twitter. Now the odds of a Solana ETF being approved in 2025 stand at 89% on Polymarket. This is a surge from its previous projections of 77% in early 2025. It also sees the likelihood of the Solana ETF receiving approval before July 31, 2025, is reported at 34%, with a trading volume of $234,560.

Solana’s Recovery Amidst Tariff-Driven Market Crash

Earlier, critics were skeptical of SOL-ETF approval due to the absence of a futures market. Another major hurdle is Solana’s classification as a security under certain conditions. Typically, securities should implement stricter compliance disclosure and reporting standards, which may complicate the approval process.

Despite those looming concerns, institutional support continues to pour in. As many as five of the biggest AUMs are in the race for issuing a spot ETF tied to the asset.

Meanwhile, Solana is among the handful of crypto tokens showing signs of recovery amidst the mayhem caused by tariff news. The crypto market cap fell by 3.3%, dropping from $2.88 trillion to $2.78 trillion, after Donald Trump raised reciprocal tariffs on several nations, sending a shock wave across global financial markets.

Amidst this mayhem, SOL became one of the trending tokens during the 24-hour volatile crypto market shakeup.

Litecoin vs Coldware: LTC Fails To Make New ATH, Here’s Why Litecoin Investors Are Moving Into Coldware For Crypto Gains

March 28, 2025 by Vaigha Varghese

In 2025, as the crypto market continues evolving, investors are shifting focus from legacy coins to utility-driven blockchain platforms with real-world application. Coldware (COLD) stands out in this new landscape—not just as a cryptocurrency, but as an entire ecosystem built to support decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenization, and PayFi infrastructure. As Litecoin (LTC) struggles to break past its previous all-time high, Coldware (COLD) is surging in its presale phase, surpassing $2 million raised as interest in its DePin and IoT features soars.

AD 4nXd0ygDfMAKiGvpWLB4HJ9WafrJwG EOcw0SJHsu9dyD3fUDSHWGU2JrKxm2D7mueZbVFRN7U9q Y7HQhHDoVgWZA8 Yl9nPKegneQw27D3HpvCUDgOaivhV6HJfagrf1uN0 DqHhQzWYuVPCTNM g?key=iKKKH83 RTuKPONKgU6zKciF

Why Coldware’s Utility-Based Approach Wins Over LTC Speculation

While Litecoin (LTC) is rooted in its origins as a “lighter Bitcoin,” it lacks the infrastructure to power next-gen Web3 applications. Coldware (COLD)), in contrast, delivers a robust Layer-1 blockchain optimized for real-world utility. The platform integrates with premium IoT hardware like the Larna 2400® smartphone and ColdBook®, making it one of the few projects connecting decentralized networks with physical devices. Through Coldware’s PayFi system, users can engage in fast, low-cost transactions globally—something Litecoin (LTC) was once known for, but now struggles to innovate beyond.

Litecoin (LTC) Sees Growing Activity but Limited Price Momentum

To its credit, Litecoin (LTC) continues to maintain strong on-chain activity, averaging 401,000 daily active addresses—a 10% increase from last year. Institutional players like Grayscale have shown faith in LTC, accumulating tens of thousands of tokens. However, despite this engagement, Litecoin (LTC) remains stuck under key resistance levels, with price projections limited to $140–$200 in the long term. This technical ceiling is prompting many investors to reevaluate their strategies and look for opportunities with greater upside.

AD 4nXd0ygDfMAKiGvpWLB4HJ9WafrJwG EOcw0SJHsu9dyD3fUDSHWGU2JrKxm2D7mueZbVFRN7U9q Y7HQhHDoVgWZA8 Yl9nPKegneQw27D3HpvCUDgOaivhV6HJfagrf1uN0 DqHhQzWYuVPCTNM g?key=iKKKH83 RTuKPONKgU6zKciF

Coldware’s DePIN and Freeze.Mint Open New Avenues for Tokenization

A major highlight of Coldware (COLD) is Freeze.Mint, a Layer-2 token creation platform allowing users and developers to mint custom tokens. This positions Coldware far beyond Litecoin (LTC), which lacks a native tokenization ecosystem. Freeze.Mint supports creators, businesses, and communities who want to build on Coldware’s secure infrastructure—furthering financial inclusion and programmable money at scale. Coldware (COLD) isn’t just a blockchain; it’s a composable network designed for global financial transformation.

Investor Sentiment: Coldware’s Presale Momentum Leaves LTC Behind

The ongoing Coldware (COLD) presale, now exceeding $2 million, demonstrates growing investor trust in Coldware’s long-term vision. While Litecoin (LTC) remains a recognized brand in crypto, it no longer offers the level of innovation required in 2025’s DeFi and AI-integrated markets. Investors looking to escape LTC’s plateau are finding Coldware’s integrated PayFi, dApp store, and staking features far more appealing.

AD 4nXd0ygDfMAKiGvpWLB4HJ9WafrJwG EOcw0SJHsu9dyD3fUDSHWGU2JrKxm2D7mueZbVFRN7U9q Y7HQhHDoVgWZA8 Yl9nPKegneQw27D3HpvCUDgOaivhV6HJfagrf1uN0 DqHhQzWYuVPCTNM g?key=iKKKH83 RTuKPONKgU6zKciF

Conclusion: Coldware (COLD) is the Utility Coin for the Next Crypto Wave

As Litecoin (LTC) attempts to sustain relevance with increased address activity and institutional backing, its growth remains capped by outdated infrastructure. Coldware (COLD), on the other hand, is built to serve the evolving needs of Web3, combining real-world hardware with advanced blockchain systems and tokenization tools. For investors looking to move beyond the limitations of Litecoin (LTC), Coldware (COLD) presents the future of decentralized internet—and a pathway to exponential gains.

Franklin Templeton Becomes the Largest Asset Manager to Files for Solana ETF

March 13, 2025 by Mwongera Taitumu

  • Franklin Templeton files 19b-4 for Solana ETF pending SEC approval.
  • The filing positions Franklin Templeton as a major player in crypto ETFs.
  • Solana’s price sees a 2.5% rise amid growing institutional interest.

Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest asset managers, has filed for a Solana-based exchange-traded fund (ETF). The firm submitted a 19b-4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 12. This move makes Franklin Templeton the largest asset manager to file for a Solana ETF, with over $1.5 trillion in assets under management.

Franklin Templeton Pushes for Approval of Solana ETF

The 19b-4 filing is part of the two-step process for SEC approval of crypto ETFs. Once the SEC acknowledges the 19b-4 filing, it will publish it in the Federal Register. This publication marks the start of the SEC’s review process for the proposed ETF.

Franklin Templeton had recently registered a trust in Delaware to facilitate the potential launch. The firm aims to create a spot Solana ETF that will track the cryptocurrency’s price. Investors will be able to gain exposure to Solana without directly purchasing the digital asset.

The Franklin Solana Trust was established to support this initiative. It places Franklin Templeton among other asset managers that have filed for SEC approval for Solana ETFs. Other firms in this race include Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck which aim to leverage the growing demand for digital assets.

Franklin Templeton’s move follows a similar filing for an XRP ETF which highlights the firm’s ambitious interest in digital currencies. This effort signals the increasing institutional demand for diversified cryptocurrency investment products. The firm’s filings come amid a surge in crypto ETF applications, as regulators and firms explore digital asset options.

Increased Institutional Interest in Solana ETFs 

Moreover, the filing aligns with the growing number of altcoin ETF filings. Bloomberg analysts recently estimated that Solana ETFs have a 70% chance of SEC approval. This estimation places Solana behind only Litecoin and Dogecoin, which have higher approval probabilities.

Franklin Templeton’s entry into the Solana ETF race indicates the growing interest in the cryptocurrency market. Although analyst James Seyffart believes that such filings are expected, a major player like Franklin brings increased credibility to the Solana ETF space. The growing number of filings underscores the increasing institutional recognition of digital assets.

The price of Solana has increased by 2.5% in the past 24 hours, trading at $125.84. This reflects the growing optimism around Solana’s future, especially as more institutional players enter the market. 

The SEC is currently reviewing multiple altcoin ETFs filings. The commission’s response to this and other filings will set the tone for future institutional involvement in digital asset ETFs.
