A Bitwise apresentou um pedido S-1 à SEC dos EUA no estado de Delaware sob o nome “Bitwise Solana ETF”. A empresa de investimento está se candidatando a ETFs Solana à vista, que agora são promissores depois que o presidente dent Donald Trump endossou a indústria de criptografia e prometeu promover uma abordagem regulatória favorável à criptografia.
A Bitwise está na corrida com outras empresas proeminentes de gestão de ativos, como VanEck e Canary Capital, que também apresentaram seus registros ao órgão de fiscalização financeira dos EUA para ETFs Solana nos últimos meses. A VanEck apresentou o primeiro pedido de ETF Solana ao regulador dos EUA em 27 de junho, enquanto a Canary Capital apresentou seu pedido em 30 de outubro. A Bitwise também registrou um trust estatutário para uma proposta de ETF Solana no estado em preparação para aprovação.

According to the Division of Corporations website in the State of Delaware, Bitwise Solana ETF was registered on November 20th, and the registered agent was listed as CSC Delaware Trust Company with headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware.
Once the application is approved, Bitwise Solana ETF will allow investors to gain exposure to Solana’s native digital asset SOL and its price movements through traditional brokerage accounts. The asset manager has not yet confirmed the stock exchange or ticker symbol for the listing. However, its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have both been listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Arca.
Although the crypto community is optimistic about the growth of digital assets under Trump’s administration, the realization of Solana ETFs is still uncertain. Under the current U.S. SEC leadership, Bitcoin remains the only digital asset that has officially been classified as a commodity.
Despite the uncertainty, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, said that the chances of the new administration accepting Solana ETFs by 2025 are “overwhelmingly high.” He also emphasized that the incoming administration will oversee regulatory transformation, with a new U.S. SEC chair replacing Gary Gensler.
Bitwise’s interest in crypto ETFs has also extended to Ripple’s XRP. The asset management firm also filed to apply for a spot XRP ETF in Delaware and then submitted an S-1 filing to the U.S. regulator the following day. The firm applied for the XRP ETF on October 1st and incorporated the Bitwise XRP ETF on September 30th.
The application comes after Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, had hinted about such a financial product a few months before. Garlinghouse described an XRP ETF as “inevitable” following the U.S. SEC’s approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
As Trump’s inauguration continues to inch closer each day, speculations about the next U.S. SEC chair have reigned supreme, and many names have emerged on the table. Perhaps the most recent and most promising candidate is crypto lawyer Teresa Goody Guillen, who many believe is pro-crypto.
Solana’s recent performance in the current bull run has been exponential despite ranking among the worst performers in the last bear cycle. The asset claims the 4th position on CoinMarketCap and is currently exchanging hands for $237.61. The price of Solana is up 9% in the last seven days and 1% in the last 24 hours.
