June 27 (Reuters) - Investment manager VanEck on Thursdayfiled to list the first U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to the spot price of crypto token Solana SOL=CCCL, months after a regulatory nod for a similar product tied to bitcoin BTC=.
Emboldened by the Securities and Exchange Commission's attitude towards spot bitcoin and ether ETH= ETFs, asset managers have been mulling ways to expand their portfolio to include other crypto tokens.
The SEC approved spot bitcoin ETFs in January after a decade-long tussle andis expected to greenlight ether ETFs as soon as next week, Reuters reported.
