Volatility Shares Submits Solana ETF Submission

Authors

Volatility ETFs will allow investors to make profits based on SOL futures prices.

On the morning of December 27, Nate Geraci announced on X that Volatility Shares had filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for approval of a new ETF based on Solana futures contracts.

The move is intended to create new investment opportunities, giving investors access to Solana's rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem through tightly regulated financial instruments.

According to registration filings, the new ETF will focus on Solana futures, offering diversified leverage options, including 1x, 2x and -1x, in order to cater to different risk appetites.

Investors can take advantage of this product to maximize profits or minimize risks in the event of volatile markets. This creates a flexible investment environment, suitable for both risk-averse investors and those seeking safety.

1x, 2x, and -1x are leveraged options in ETFs that give investors more flexibility in managing risk and returns.

With 1x, ETF performance will be directly proportional to the price of Solana futures. 2x offers double leverage, which increases or decreases in ETF value faster than Solana's price movements, suitable for those who want to maximize profits but come with high risks.

Meanwhile, -1x allows profits to be made when the Solana price falls, helping the investor to protect the portfolio against the risk of a downward market.

By law, this ETF only trades on exchanges registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). If approved by the SEC, this ETF will not only help investors tap into Solana's potential, but also contribute to strengthening the reputation of the digital asset investment sector.

Volatility Shares stops not only at the Solana ETF product, but is also famous for offering dual asset ETFs in the past. These products allow combining two major asset classes in one category, such as BTC+ETH, Nasdaq+ETH, S&P+BTC. This approach makes it easier for investors to diversify portfolios, connecting traditional financial markets and digital assets.

Volatility Shares' new proposal marks a major step forward in bringing crypto closer to institutional and individual investors through regulated, simplified and secure financial products.

If implemented, the Solana futures ETF could become a potential investment tool, opening the door to the growth of both the Solana ecosystem and the digital asset market in general.
