● VanEck submits Solana Trust fund application, the first Solana ETF applied for in the United States
According to Odaily Planet Daily, according to market news, VanEck submitted an application for the Solana Trust Fund. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, said that he had applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the Solana ETF. This new fund, named VanEck Solana Trust, is the first Solana ETF applied for in the United States. He said: "The function of the native token SOL is similar to other digital commodities such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is used to pay transaction fees and computing services on the blockchain. Like ETH on the Ethereum network, SOL can be traded on digital asset platforms or used for peer-to-peer transactions."
According to BlockBeats, JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said in a report on Wednesday that Gemini Earn's creditors may have recently liquidated some of the crypto assets they received. Mt. Gox creditors also face similar downside risks in July. "Assuming that most of the liquidation of Mt. Gox creditors occurs in July, cryptocurrency prices will be further pressured in July, but will rebound from August." On the other hand, FTX's cash repayment amount is estimated to be approximately US$14 billion to US$16 billion, which is expected to be repaid shortly after the liquidation plan is finally approved on October 7. Analysts said that these repayments from FTX may support the cryptocurrency market, and cryptocurrency native creditors may reinvest funds in assets.
Miners have sold more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin this year, which appears to be a record number, said James Butterfill, director of research at CoinShares, Foresight News reported.

Proportionally, miners have sold less Bitcoin as a percentage of total Bitcoin holdings, at 1% so far this year compared to 2% in 2018 and 2015.
