🚨SCOOP: Talks between @SECGov staff and issuers looking to launch a $SOL spot ETF are “progressing” with the SEC now engaging on S-1 applications, according to two people familiar with the matter. These people say there’s a “good chance” we’ll see some 19b4 filings from exchanges on behalf of prospective issuers — the next step in the ETF approval process — in the coming days.
Right now @vaneck_us, @21Shares and @CanaryFunds have all filed S-1’s for a Solana ETF, while @bitwise announced its intent to file an S-1 yesterday. The 19b4 forms would be filed by the exchanges such as the @CBOE on behalf of issuers, asking the SEC to allow them to list the prospective ETFs. Once the SEC acknowledges receipt of the filing, a 240-day window opens for it to either approve or deny the products.
The filing of the 19b4’s does not guarantee an approval by the SEC. Indeed, previous 19b4 filings from VanEck and 21Shares were taken down from the CBOE’s website in August with some industry participants speculating the reason was that the agency under @GaryGensler was not inclined to approve such listings.
Now, issuers have indicated that recent engagement from staff, coupled with the incoming pro-crypto administration is sparking a renewed sense of optimism that a Solana ETF could be approved sometime in 2025.
We are devastated to share the heartbreaking news that Bert, our beloved source of inspiration and the heart of everything we’ve built, has passed away. Bert wasn’t just a dog, he was a symbol of joy, resilience, and love. To his owner @kathygrayson, our team, and the incredible community behind this project, Bert was so much more than we could ever put into words.
We had big dreams with Bert. He wasn’t just the face of $BERT, he was its soul. Losing him is a pain that’s hard to express, but even in our heartbreak, we find strength. This is not the end of Bert’s story, it’s the beginning of something even greater. His passing has ignited a fire in all of us to ensure his name and his mission live on forever.
In Bert’s honor, we are creating The BERT Foundation, starting with a $100,000 grant to help dogs in need around the world. But we’re not stopping there. We’re also commissioning a statue of Bert, a permanent tribute to his legacy and the movement he inspired.
We’re also sharing something deeply personal: a raw, uncut video of Bert filmed by Kathy just one day before he passed. It’s real, heartfelt, and unfiltered, just as this project has always been. Bert deserves to be remembered exactly as he was, and we’re honored to share this moment with the world.
Bert now joins a legacy of incredible animals who have shaped the crypto world like $PNUT, the beloved squirrel, and Kabosu, the iconic Shiba Inu behind $DOGE. These animals remind us that behind every meme is a heart, a story, and a mission. Bert will forever stand among them as a symbol of hope and the power of community.
Bert united us. He gave us purpose. And now, it’s our turn to carry that forward to ensure every dog in the world feels the love and care that Bert inspired in us all. Every single one of us is Bert. Together, through the power of crypto, community, and compassion, we’ll create a lasting legacy in his name.
Rest easy, Bert. Your light will never fade. 🐾💔
