Fidelity, Franklin Prep Solana ETFs with Staking
In the crypto ETF world, there's a lot at stake.
Eight asset managers have filed or refiled Solana ETF trusts with the Securities and Exchange Commission over the past several days. The barrage of filings suggest that the regulator has been in talks with the firms about their proposals. Amended documents often indicate that companies are incorporating changes that the SEC wants to see — and the development hints that spot Solana ETFs may be approved relatively soon.
'Crypto filings generally see some back-and-forth conversation with the SEC, but it seems like Solana ETFs have a high probability of being approved within the next few months, according to precedent set by previous crypto products,' said Roxanna Islam, head of sector and industry research at TMX VettaFi.

The recent filings have been updated to allow the proposed Solana ETFs to stake a portion of their shares. Staking, in which owners pledge tokens that are used to help secure the network, allows owners to get rewards in the form of more Solana. While the SEC recently expressed concerns with a pair of proposed Ethereum and Solana ETFs that would use staking, the agency's Division of Corporation Finance has also commented that staking does not amount to a securities offering under the Securities Act of 1933.
The proposed Solana ETFs come from a variety of issuers:
Five that would trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange include products from Fidelity, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and 21Shares.
The Grayscale Solana ETF would trade on NYSE Arca, while the Coinshares Solana ETF would trade on the Nasdaq.
The Canary Marinade Solana ETF did not specify which exchange it would use.
Stake Through the Heart: 'Ethereum ETFs were denied staking when they were first launched, but since then have filed for staking approval,' Islam said. 'While the SEC has not yet approved staking for Ethereum ETFs, it's possible it could potentially be approved alongside Solana ETFs.'

Bitcoin Quickly Plunges Below $103K, With Volatility Burst Spurring $450M in Crypto Liquidations
What started as a positive day for crypto markets quickly reversed during the U.S. session with bitcoin BTC sliding below $103,000 from the $106,500 level just hours earlier. At press time, bitcoin had pared some of the losses, returning to $103,200, down 1.2% over the past 24 hours. Other large cryptocurrencies endured steeper declines. Ethereum's ether ETH saw a sharp 4.5% drop in just 90 minutes to as low as $2,372, with trading volume spiking to nearly 800,000 ETH, nearly eight times the average hourly volume, per CoinDesk data. Solana's SOL SOL, dogecoin DOGE and Cardano's ADA ADA were 3%-5% lower over the same period. The volatility burst caught many traders off-guard, liquidating about $450 million in derivatives trading positions on centralized exchanges across all digital assets, CoinGlass data shows. Some $387 million of liquidations were tied to long positions that bet on profiting from rising prices. While macro risks abound — among them the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran — there was no immediate external reason for the sudden price swing. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 indexes only inched lower during the day. Zooming out, BTC continues to trade within a sideways range between $100,000 and $110,000, consolidating just below its all-time record level. "The mixed view of whether BTC will go above $110,000 again or drop into the $90,000 area doesn't surprise me at all and underscores the overall indecision people and markets feel," said James Toledano, chief operating officer at Unity Wallet. "The present BTC stalemate reflects a market caught between bullish long-term sentiment and short-term macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty," he added.

Investors react to US attack on Iran nuclear sites
(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said that a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran had been carried out. In a posting on Truth Social, Trump added, "All planes are safely on their way home" and he ended his posting saying, "Now is the time for peace." Following are comments from some financial and corporate analysts: JAMIE COX, MANAGING PARTNER, HARRIS FINANCIAL GROUP, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: 'Oil is sure to spike on this initial news, but will likely level in a few days. With this demonstration of force and total annihilation of its nuclear capabilities, they've lost all of their leverage and will likely hit the escape button to a peace deal." MARK MALEK, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, SIEBERT FINANCIAL, NYC: "I think it's going to be very positive for the stock market. I believe that on Friday if you'd asked me, I would have expected two weeks of volatility with markets trying to analyze every drib and drab of information coming out of the White House and I would have said that it would have been better to make a decision last week. "So this will be reassuring, especially since it seems like a one and done situation and not as if (the US) is seeking a long, drawn out conflict. The biggest risk still out there is the Strait of Hormuz. It could certainly change everything if Iran has the capability to close it." JACK ABLIN, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER OF CRESSET CAPITAL: "This adds a complicated new layer of risk that we'll have to consider and pay attention to... This is definitely going to have an impact on energy prices and potentially on inflation as well." (Compiled by the Global Finance & Markets Breaking News team)
