Franklin Templeton has taken the final administrative step toward launching its Solana ETF by submitting Form 8-A to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing, commonly referred to as the “green-light” form, typically signals that an ETF is ready to begin trading, potentially as early as the next business day. The fund will be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker SOEZ.
The move comes shortly after the asset manager successfully debuted its XRP ETF on Monday, marking one of the strongest product rollouts this month.
Franklin’s Solana fund will operate as a passive ETF tracking the CF Benchmarks Index and will charge a 0.19% fee, waived on the first $5 billion in assets until May 31, 2026.
The Solana filing faced multiple review delays throughout 2025 as the SEC extended decisions from April to June and later into a 180-day period that pushed final evaluations into late 2025. Franklin Templeton now joins 21Shares, which also secured approval for a competing Solana ETF.
