In June 2024, 21Shares filed an S-1 for spot Solana exchange-traded fund in the U.S.[8] The following month, in July 2024, VanEck and 21Shares sent amended Ether exchange-traded fund filings to the SEC to list and trade shares of a spot Ether exchange-traded fund.[9] In September of 2024, 21Shares launched a Bitcoin token on the Ethereum blockchain.[10]
