Franklin Templeton has officially filed its Solana (SOL) spot ETF prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, setting the product’s fee at just 0.19%, the lowest among all Solana-focused ETFs to date. The firm will also waive all fees on the first $5 billion in assets under management, giving early investors zero-fee exposure during the initial growth phase.
The ETF is expected to go live today, marking another major milestone in the rapid expansion of institutional-grade Solana investment products.

Lowest Fee and Aggressive Waivers
According to the filing, Franklin Templeton’s 0.19% annual sponsor fee positions the ETF as the most cost-competitive Solana product in the market. The waiver on the first $5B in AUM applies until May 31, 2026, effectively eliminating the sponsor fee for a potentially large portion of early inflows.
The waiver does not obligate the firm to continue offering discounted fees beyond that date, but any future changes would be disclosed through prospectus updates or fund reports.
The fund will sell Solana as needed to cover any non-waived expenses and will pass along Solana network fees or similar operational costs to the Authorized Participants involved in creation and redemption activity.
Another Breakthrough for Solana’s ETF Landscape
The new filing adds more momentum to Solana’s expanding ETF presence. With multiple issuers racing to establish market share, Franklin Templeton’s fee structure is expected to attract strong interest from both institutional and retail investors looking for cost-efficient exposure.
The move underscores how aggressively firms are now positioning Solana alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as a core digital asset for regulated investment vehicles. If demand mirrors early activity seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, today’s launch could become one of the most significant moments for Solana adoption in 2025.
The ETF’s expected debut today places Franklin Templeton at the front of the Solana ETF market, with the lowest fee, one of the most aggressive waivers, and institutional infrastructure already in place.
