Asset management company VANECK applied for sale of the Solana (SOL) exchange trading fund (ETF), which is the first time in the United States such registration and six days after 3IQ applied for similar products in Canada.
The S-1 registration form submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) helped increase the 24-hour increase of the SOL token to nearly 8%.The COINDESK 20 Index (CD20) of the more extensive encryption market rose by 1.8%.
As we all know, VANECK is a pioneer in the field.The asset management company is the first company to apply for the Eto ETF spot in 2021. About three years ago, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began to contact the issuer, including BlackRock, richCompanies such as Fidelity, ARK Invest.A document was submitted in September last year.
Matthew Sigel, director of VANECK’s digital asset research, wrote in an article on X:“We believe that the function of native currency SOL is similar to other digital products such as Bitcoin and ETH.” He believes that SOL is a product, not a securities.”It is used to pay the transaction fee and calculation service on the blockchain,” he wrote.
Sigel added that VANECK applied for Solana ETF because the blockchain is Ethereum’s competitors and has “unique combinations of scalability, speed and low cost.
