The push for another Solana ETF intensified as Invesco Galaxy filed a Form 8-A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a key regulatory step signaling a product is nearly ready to begin trading. This filing comes after the company recently updated its ETF application, laying out operational structures, fee details, and the plan for listing on the Cboe BZX Exchange .
The ETF will trade under the ticker QSOL, with Invesco confirming it will not waive its sponsor fee at launch, though adjustments may be made in the future. To seed the trust, Invesco Ltd purchased 4,000 shares for $100,000, creating the initial capital foundation.
A full independent audit has also been completed, meaning the fund is structurally ready to go live. If approved quickly, QSOL could debut as early as next week, joining an increasingly crowded field of institutional Solana products.
The market is already responding. Solana surged over 4% in 24 hours, driven by ETF optimism and hopes of an upcoming Federal Reserve rate cut . Investor positioning supports this upbeat mood: Solana investment products recorded $16.54 million in inflows in the latest session, the fourth straight day of positive flow after a streak of outflows.
Still, not all metrics align with the bullish surge. On-chain data from Glassnode revealed weakening liquidity, with Solana’s Realized Profit-to-Loss Ratio staying below 1 since mid-November, meaning traders are locking in more losses than profits.
The institutional pipeline is far from slowing. CME Group is preparing to launch spot-quoted Solana futures on December 15, pending regulatory approval, another major milestone for institutional SOL exposure.
With the Invesco Galaxy ETF now approaching the finish line, Solana’s investment landscape is set for yet another transformation, even as the price trades under pressure in the short term.
