New Solana ETF Becomes Tradable on BZX
If you invest, you may be able to buy and sell shares of the 21Shares Core Solana ETF on the Cboe BZX Exchange once the Trust's Form S-1 registration statement is effective. The Exchange requires a minimum of 10,000 Shares outstanding at commencement of listing.
Custody and Insolvency Protections
The Trust's SOL will be held by Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, a New York-chartered trust company overseen by the NYDFS, in segregated accounts and subject to independent audits and fidelity insurance. These custody arrangements are intended to protect investors' SOL from Custodian insolvency and theft.
Cash-Only Creation/Redemption Process
The Trust will create and redeem Shares in cash only, in Creation Baskets of 10,000 Shares, with authorized participants delivering or receiving cash rather than SOL. Authorized participants must place purchase orders by 12:00 p.m. ET (or another Sponsor-determined time) on a business day.
Daily NAV and 15-Second Intraday Values
The Trust's NAV will be calculated once daily as soon as practical after 4:00 p.m. ET, and an Intraday Indicative Value (IIV) will be disseminated every 15 seconds during Regular Trading Hours (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET). The Trust's website will publish NAV, Official Closing Price, premium/discount data, and other information daily.
No Staking or Airdrop Rewards for Trust SOL
The Trust, Sponsor, Custodian, and related parties will not engage in actions that cause any portion of the Trust's SOL to be used for proof-of-stake validation, to earn additional SOL, or to generate income; the Trust will disclaim incidental rights such as forks or airdrops and will not take them into account for NAV.
