Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has submitted a proposal to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade shares of the 21Shares Core Solana ETF under their specific rules for Commodity-Based Trust Shares. The primary goal is to give investors regulated access to Solana, a popular cryptocurrency. Cboe argues that trading Solana in this way can limit risks for investors typically exposed to through unregulated digital asset platforms. The proposal emphasizes that Solana's design makes it challenging to manipulate its price, aiming to address concerns about fraud and investor protection.
