Good news has come from Hong Kong, which is on its way to becoming the region’s cryptocurrency center.
At this point, following the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the Solana (SOL) ETF was also approved.
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has officially approved the first Solana (SOL) spot ETF issued by China Asset Management (ChinaAMC), local news agency HKET reported.
The Hong Kong SFC has approved the first Solana (SOL) spot ETF, making SOL the third cryptocurrency to receive spot ETF approval after Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
This is the third cryptocurrency spot ETF to be approved after Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the first spot Solana ETF in Asia.
According to the report, each trading unit in the SOL ETF will consist of 100 shares, with a minimum investment of approximately US$100, or approximately HK$780. The ETF will be traded on the OSL Exchange, with custody and clearing services provided by OSL Digital Securities.
The fund’s management fee will be set at 0.99%, while custody and administrative expenses will be limited to 1% of the fund’s net asset value.
The fund, managed by China Asset Management, is scheduled to list on October 27. China Asset Management, one of Hong Kong’s largest fund managers, already operates Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. The company’s new Solana product marks the first time a SOL-based fund has been launched in both Asia and the US.
