ChinaAMC already operates spot bitcoin and ether ETFs in Hong Kong, which were among the first of their kind in Asia.
U.S. regulators are delayed in approving a solana ETF, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently operating with minimal staff, owing to a prolonged government shutdown.
In the U.S., JPMorgan expects Solana spot ETFs to attract around $1.5 billion in first-year inflows, a modest amount compared to their ether counterparts, due to so many other crypto ETFs already on the market.
