Franklin Solana ETF is expected to trade under the ticker **SOEZ** on the NYSE Arca. The fund is intended to passively track the **CF Benchmarks Solana Index** and will be the seventh tokenized Solana ETF presently available to U.S. investors. More competitive choices can now be made available to investors wanting exposure to SOL via regulated instruments.
This comes on the heel of an outflow of $13.55 million recorded in the Solana ETF and the largest daily net outflow in the asset class, CoinGape reported. The 21Shares TSOL fund was the primary outflow driver, recording an outflow of $32.54 million.
While the Franklin Templeton, out of the Solana ETFs, is the outflow driver in the short run, the inflow expected in the long run is evidence of growing confidence in the Solana’s long-term potential and institutional adoption.
Franklin Templeton also enhanced its crypto index ETF to include Solana and other digital assets. New listing standards by **Cboe**, which the SEC approved earlier this year, made this incremental addition possible.
Roger Bayston, Franklin Templeton’s digital assets head, noted the firm’s dedication to advancing digital asset products and the provisioning of diversified exposure to new blockchain technologies for investors.
Additionally to the Solana ETFs, there has been some involvement of the institutions from Solana partnered with Forward Industries, who, with the help of Sanctum, was able to create fwdSOL.
This is a liquid staking token with which the company can now obtain staked rewards with the usage of DeFi (decetralized finance) strategies. As a part of the agreement, Forward Industries will exchange 1.7 million SOL for fwdSOL, which can subsequently be utilized as collateral in DeFi to obtain a higher yield.
Moreover, Forward Industries holds a Solana treasury, as he has already received SOL at an amount of 1.6 B. Upexi also finished a Solana-related private placement for $10 million. All of this shows a growing level of institutional confidence and activity in the Solana ecosystem, validating ETFs (like Franklin Templeton’s SOEZ) and indicating the demand for them.
