Solana futures ETFs coming to the US

Per a regulatory filing, SOLZ will track the performance of Solana futures contracts and offer a standard 1x exposure.

Meanwhile, VolShares’ SOLT aims to deliver a leveraged 2x exposure.

The funds go live days after the CME Sol futures go live, and industry anticipation around spot Solana ETFs rose with several regulatory filings.

While Volatility Shares offers Bitcoin futures ETFs with BITO and BITX, the SOL futures ETFs are the first major altcoin after Ethereum to have a futures ETF in the US market.

VolShares filed for the SOLT and SOLZ with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2024.

While the firm targeted a third Solana futures ETF with an inverse option, its SOLZ and SOLT are set to hit the market on March 20, 2025.

Notably, Volatility Shares’ ETFs go live after regulated Solana futures contracts launched on March 17, 2025, via Coinbase Derivatives and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Is a Solana spot ETF next?

Solana is a top altcoin and interest from institutional investors has been massive in the past year.

Despite the meme coins debacle on the chain, industry experts have opined that chances of an SEC nod for spot Solana ETFs are high.

This comes as top asset managers, including VanEck, 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Canary Capital submit applications for approval.

While SEC is yet to give the greenlight for any of these, the debut of SOLZ and SOLT have experts increasing their forecast odds for approval.

Solana’s price jumped amid the news, rising about 6% to above $130. The market will no doubt watch out for how the two SOL futures ETFs pan out on the first day.

But despite this, the most attention is likely to be on the SEC and its decision on the various Solana spot ETF applications before it.

On what could be next for VolShares SOL ETFs, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said:

“It’s the first altcoin after Ether to be approved. But history has shown that ETF investors crave holding the physical asset as much as possible. It could have some issues when spot is approved.”
