Invesco and Galaxy File Solana ETF with SEC Under Symbol QSOL
2025/07/06 22:50- Invesco and Galaxy ask SEC for Solana ETF
- QSOL ETF to be traded on Cboe BZX
- Galaxy Digital to Purchase SOL Tokens for Fund
Invesco and Galaxy Digital have filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a Solana ETF, reinforcing the movement among asset managers competing for authorization for the first fund directly linked to the Solana network.
The proposed fund, called the Invesco Galaxy Solana ETF, will trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker QSOL, as detailed in a recently filed registration document. Invesco Capital Management is listed as the fund’s sponsor, while Galaxy Digital will be responsible for purchasing the SOL tokens that will back the product.
In the fund's operational structure, the Bank of New York Mellon will act as administrator, while the custody of the assets will be handled by Coinbase Custody Trust Company. The choice of institutions indicates an attempt to convey institutional security to investors who follow the advances in crypto asset regulation in the US.
The filing joins others already filed by companies including VanEck, Bitwise and 21Shares, which are also seeking to create Solana-backed ETFs. Interest has intensified following the inauguration of current U.S. President Donald Trump, reigniting expectations for a more flexible approach from the SEC when it comes to approving crypto-related instruments.
The SEC has recently requested adjustments to these asset managers’ S-1 filings, which is usually a procedural step prior to formal approvals. The move comes after the approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, considered milestones in the process of integrating cryptocurrencies into the traditional financial market.
In parallel, Cboe BZX also filed a Form 19b-4 last week for the Canary PENGU ETF, which focuses on the ecosystem of the Ethereum-based NFT project Pudgy Penguins. The move shows that, in addition to traditional assets, there is a growing openness to products tied to new categories of digital tokens, such as those linked to NFTs.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
