Fidelity Investments is advancing toward launching its spot Solana-ETF, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently acknowledged its filing. This step indicates that the ETF may soon be published in the Federal Register, a crucial milestone in the approval process.
A Major Step for Solana-ETF
The filing follows Cboe BZX Exchange Inc.’s submission of the 19b-4 form for the “Fidelity Solana Fund,” alongside CSC Delaware Trust Company’s registration of a new statutory trust under the same name. This move comes as Solana continues gaining investor interest, positioning itself as a leading altcoin candidate for ETF approvals, following the SEC’s recent acceptance of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

Market Impact Amid Tariff Turmoil
Despite the progress, the market reacted negatively due to President Donald Trump‘s sweeping reciprocal tariffs. On Thursday, Solana‘s price dropped sharply by 15%, briefly falling below $113 before recovering to around $115.42 as of 4:40 p.m. EST. In comparison, Bitcoin and Ethereum faced more moderate declines of over 4%.
As the regulatory landscape shifts, analysts are watching whether the approval of Fidelity’s Solana-ETF can help restore investor confidence and stabilize digital asset markets amid ongoing tariff-related uncertainty.
