VolatilityShares' bold Solana Futures ETF proposal offers diverse leverage, paving the way for unique crypto investment opportunities.
Analysts highlight Solana’s rapid growth, with institutional interest and ETF filings potentially driving its price to new heights.
If approved, Solana ETFs could revolutionize crypto investing, attracting both risk-takers and cautious players to its ecosystem.
Nate Geraci, president of the ETF store on an X post said VolatilityShares offered an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that offers exposure to Solana futures through a range of leverage options. This ETF aims to attract cautious and risk-tolerant investors with leverage options of 1x, 2x, and -1x. To ensure a secure and transparent investing environment, the proposed product will only trade on exchanges under the Commodities Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) jurisdiction.
This project focuses on Solana, a blockchain known for its minimal costs and speedy transactions. Attracting institutional and retail participants, this ETF has the potential to completely transform the way investors engage with Solana's growing ecosystem.

A Timely Yet Bold Filing
Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the audacity of the VolatilityShares proposal, especially given Solana futures are yet to go live. Balchunas called the inclusion of a leveraged 2x product “hardcore,” showing the innovative yet high-risk nature of the fund. He suggested that the move signals confidence in Solana futures’ imminent launch, potentially paving the way for spot ETFs in the future.
However, competition in the crypto ETF remains fierce. Other digital assets, such as Litecoin and HBAR, are also vying for ETF approval. While some believe these assets may receive the green light before Solana, others argue Solana’s rapid ecosystem growth gives it a unique edge.
Institutional Momentum and Market Impact
Since its inception, Solana has been a magnet for institutional interest. Partnerships with Microsoft and Google Cloud have fueled its adoption. The blockchain's price trajectory from an all-time low of $0.505 to highs shows its market potential.
Institutional enthusiasm rises with companies like Grayscale and 21Shares filing for Solana-based ETFs with the SEC. Historically, ETFs have catalyzed major market movements. For instance, Bitcoin ETFs spurred an 181.52% price increase and $110.72 billion in assets under management. The approval of Solana ETFs could trigger a similar surge. Analysts speculate Solana’s price could climb to $1,000 if spot ETF approval follows.
