Solana (SOL) price surged 12%, reaching a fresh all-time high of $263.70 following the Cboe Exchange’s submission of four 19b-4 filings for spot Solana ETFs by asset managers like VanEck, Bitwise, and 21Shares.
Earlier today, Solana price SOL $122.2 24h volatility: 7.0% Market cap: $63.13 B Vol. 24h: $5.78 B surged by another 12% hitting a fresh all-time high of $263.70 while taking its market cap to more than $124.90 billion. This comes as the Cboe Exchange submits four 19b-4 filings of spot Solana ETFs for asset managers VanEck, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Canary Capital.
The FTX collapse in November 2022 led to the SOL price hitting its bottom of $10. From there, Solana has staged a massive recovery to its new all-time high levels. With 373% gains over the last year, SOL has been one of the top-performing altcoins in 2024.
One of the major reasons behind the SOL price rally has been the rise of the Solana-based meme coins in 2024. These meme coins contributed massive trading revenue providing a strong revenue boost to the Solana blockchain.
Additionally, the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) on Solana has been impressive as well. So far in 2024, the total value locked (TVL) on Solana DeFi has surged by 500%, now at $8.916 billion as per the data from DeFiLlama.
Independent on-chain analyst Titan of Crypto has identified a significant bullish trend on Solana’s monthly chart, noting a breakout in progress. The chart reveals a classic cup-and-handle formation, a pattern known for its high reliability.

Historically, this pattern boasts a 95% success rate and an average profit yield of 54% following a breakout, signaling strong upside potential for Solana. “Once it clears its previous ATH, it could soar straight to $400!” noted the analyst.
Spot Solana ETF Filings Trigger SOL Price Rally
As reported, the Cboe BZX Exchange submitted four 19b-4 filings of spot Solana ETF for asset managers VanEck, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Canary Capital. The development took place on the same day as US SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation with January 20 being his last day in the office. Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terret stated that the US SEC now has “up to 15 days to acknowledge the filings and publish them to the federal register”.
A 19b-4 filing notifies the SEC of a proposed rule change by a self-regulatory organization, such as a financial regulator or stock exchange. This differs from S-1 registration statements, which VanEck and 21Shares submitted for their Solana ETFs in late June, followed by Canary Capital on October 30.
A day before on November 20, crypto exchange Bitwise submitted its statutory trust in Delaware for the Solana ETF. Later on November 21, the asset manager filed for the S-1.
Industry experts anticipate a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies under the Donald Trump administration. This could potentially lead to an increase in crypto ETF filings, similar to those submitted on November 21.
