Hong Kong Approves First Spot Solana ETF by ChinaAMC for HKEX Listing

Hong Kong has approved its first spot Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF), adding another regulated crypto investment product to its growing digital asset market. The ETF, issued by China Asset Management Company (ChinaAMC), was cleared by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) earlier this week.

The authorization makes Solana the third cryptocurrency to gain spot ETF status in Hong Kong after Bitcoin (BTC)and Ethereum (ETH). It is also the first Solana ETF to be listed anywhere in Asia.

Hua Xia Solana ETF Listing Details

The ETF, officially named the Hua Xia Solana ETF, will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) on October 27, 2025. Each trading lot will consist of 100 shares, with a minimum investment requirement of around USD 100.

ChinaAMC will act as the fund manager. OSL Exchange will facilitate trading operations, OSL Digital Securities will serve as sub-custodian, and BOCI-Prudential Trustee Limited will operate as the primary custodian.

The fund’s structure mirrors that of ChinaAMC’s previously launched Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, both of which debuted earlier this year. These earlier listings helped establish the regulatory and operational framework now used for Solana’s inclusion.

SFC Expands Regulated Access to Crypto ETFs

The approval of the ChinaAMC Solana ETF extends Hong Kong’s strategy to build a compliant and transparent environment for digital asset investment. The city has positioned itself as a regional leader in regulated crypto trading, enabling asset managers to launch products that track spot market prices under full regulatory supervision.

For investors, the listing provides direct exposure to Solana, one of the fastest-growing blockchain networks known for its transaction throughput and developer activity. The Solana blockchain supports a wide range of decentralized applications, tokenized assets, and payment systems, making it a core part of the current altcoin market structure.

Solana ETFs Around the World

The Hua Xia Solana ETF will start trading in Hong Kong while other countries are still reviewing similar products. In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not yet approved spot ETFs for Solana (SOL), XRP, or HBAR.

Solana ETFs are already active in Canada, Brazil, and Kazakhstan. Trading in these markets has been steady, mostly from institutional investors.

Hong Kong’s ETF could see initial inflows of around USD 1.5 billion during its first year, based on market estimates. The fund allows investors to buy Solana through a regulated exchange for the first time in Asia.
