The products include VanEck Solana Trust, 21Shares Core Solana ETF, Canary Solana Trust, and Bitwise Solana ETF.
Bitwise has become the fourth investment firm to apply for a spot Solana ETF, following Canary Capital’s application in October, and VanEck and 21Shares, who initiated the race in June.
Following the news, SOL surpassed its all-time high, exceeding $264.
At the time of writing, the asset is trading at $258.
Earlier, VanEck noted the high likelihood of Solana-ETF approval by the end of 2025.
Back in October, the SEC approved the trading of options on exchange-traded funds based on the spot price of the first cryptocurrency on the NYSE and CBOE.
