Cantor Fitzgerald has disclosed for the first time its holdings in the Solana ETF, as institutional interest in SOL products accelerates.

Cantor Fitzgerald, in its latest 13F filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has disclosed for the first time its holdings in Solana-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking the official entry of this major Wall Street brokerage into the ranks of institutions following regulated products related to Solana. The document shows that Cantor holds 58,000 shares of Volatility Shares Solana ETF (ticker: SOLZ), with a holdings value of approximately $1.283 million.

This ETF provides exposure to Solana based on futures rather than directly holding SOL tokens. In March of this year, the fund was listed on NASDAQ, sparking market interest in non-Bitcoin and non-Ethereum crypto asset ETFs. Meanwhile, several institutions such as Fidelity, Canary, and VanEck have also recently launched their own Solana ETFs, reflecting the trend of the market actively expanding diversified digital asset investment channels after the SEC approved related products in September.

Analysts pointed out that traditional financial institutions like Cantor disclosing their holdings in Solana ETF helps to enhance mainstream investors' confidence in emerging crypto assets. Jonathan Inglis, CEO of the crypto industry research firm Protocol Theory, stated that many retail investors are still affected by scams and security concerns, while the holdings actions from traditional financial giants are improving market perception to some extent, transforming past “interest expectations” into real institutional actions.

According to a survey by Protocol Theory, among over 4,000 adults in the Asia-Pacific region, 65% of respondents from developed markets are worried about the risk of fraud, and 31% view security issues as the main barrier. Inglis pointed out that against this backdrop, institutions like Cantor are indirectly positioning themselves in Solana through ETF products, allowing ordinary investors to enter the emerging asset space in a familiar way, rather than seeing it as a distant niche target.

Overall, institutional interest in the Solana ecosystem is warming up, and the popularity of ETFs has opened up a “formal channel” for more traditional funds to enter the SOL market. As regulation becomes clearer and product diversity increases, the trend of institutional adoption of Solana may continue to strengthen.
