VolShares Launches First U.S. Solana ETFs, Tracking Futures

20 Mar

According to a recent Bloomberg report, Florida-based Volatility Shares LLC is set to launch two  ETFs on Thursday.

These Solana ETFs will track Solana futures, marking a first for the crypto market. This move follows the success of Bitcoin ETFs, signaling that the crypto wave is far from over.
New Solana ETFs: A Fresh Investment Avenue with High Stakes
The two new ETFs—the Volatility Shares Solana ETF (ticker: SOLZ) and the Volatility Shares 2X Solana ETF (ticker: SOLT)—offer investors a fresh way to dip their toes into Solana. SOLZ will track Solana futures, while SOLT provides double the leveraged exposure for those looking to swing for the fences. However, these funds don’t come cheap, with expense ratios of 0.95% for SOLZ and 1.85% for SOLT.
Still, the launch shows that ETF firms are doubling down on catering to speculative investors, even as concerns about market saturation linger. 2025 has seen a flurry of new ETF filings across various assets, proving that firms are willing to roll the dice on innovative products.

This development isn’t just a flash in the pan—it could pave the way for spot Solana ETFs, which are expected to gain approval later this year. The success of Bitcoin products has set a precedent, and Solana’s entry into the ETF space suggests that Wall Street is ready to embrace a broader range of cryptocurrencies.
