Fidelity, a leading asset management firm, is entering the Solana ecosystem with a new ETF offering. An important regulatory filing submitted Tuesday shows that the asset manager is preparing to launch a Solana fund.
This filing, known as a 19b-4 form, was submitted by Cboe BZX Exchange just days after a new trust named Fidelity Solana Fund was registered. This suggests that Fidelity is gearing up to offer investors a way to gain exposure to Solana through an exchange-traded fund.
This move signals the firm’s growing interest in expanding its digital investment products beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Solana ETF Products Gaining Momentum
Fidelity is not the only company interested in launching a Solana investment product. Other major firms, including Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, Canary Capital, and VanEck, have also filed for spot Solana exchange-traded funds.
Last week, Volatility Shares became the first to introduce an exchange-traded fund tied to Solana’s price, allowing investors to trade Solana futures. This shows that interest in crypto exchange-traded funds has been growing.
Additionally, firms are targeting Solana and working on investment products for assets like Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP. The approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds under the previous administration set a precedent, and now Solana is becoming the next big target.
Fidelity’s Crypto Strategy Is Expanding Amid Friendly Crypto Policy
Fidelity has been increasing its focus on digital assets for years. The firm’s spokesperson said that many of its customers are interested in crypto, and Fidelity is trying to offer investment options that meet their needs.
Meanwhile, the asset manager has already launched Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs, and adding a Solana fund would further strengthen its position in the crypto market.
The timing of Fidelity’s move coincides with changes in U.S. crypto rules. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has been more supportive of the crypto industry.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped enforcement actions against major crypto firms, including Ripple, Coinbase, OpenSea, and Kraken. The regulatory agency has also formed a task force to create clear regulations for the industry.
Solana’s Price Surges Amid Market Optimism
Following the news of Fidelity’s filing, Solana’s price jumped to $145, rising from $128 just a few days earlier. The market is responding positively to the growing institutional interest in Solana, reinforcing the token’s position as one of the promising digital assets in the space.
With Fidelity entering the Solana market, competition among major financial firms is only expected to intensify. As the regulatory landscape becomes less stringent, more investors may soon have access to Solana through traditional investment platforms.
