SOL jumped above $164 in the minutes following the report, up nearly 5% over the past 24 hours.
After the debut of bitcoin and ether spot ETFs in the U.S. last year, asset managers are racing to get regulatory approval to launch similar vehicles for smaller cryptocurrencies, offering traditional investors easier access to invest in digital assets. Several asset managers have filed applications with the SEC to launch funds holding SOL, including Fidelity, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton and VanEck.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
