**VanEck's Solana ETF Plans Still Alive Despite Cboe Filing Removal**

VanEck's ambitions for a Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF) remain intact, even after Cboe Global Markets removed its regulatory filing to list the fund. Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s head of digital assets research, clarified that while the 19b-4 filing is no longer visible on Cboe's site, the ETF prospectus (S-1) is still active.

- Cboe filed a request with the SEC in July to list VanEck and 21Shares' SOL ETFs.

- The 19b-4 filing disappeared from Cboe's website as of August 9, sparking speculation.

- VanEck asserts SOL is a commodity, akin to BTC and ETH, and continues to work with regulators.
