US-based investment holdings firm Franklin Templeton’s Solana ETF has officially begun live trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Arca platform.
The launch comes as multiple Solana ETFs have recently entered a period of increased positive inflows with total assets reaching more than $933 million.
Franklin Templeton’s entry into the space marks one of the largest traditional finance institutions to launch a Solana ETF. The firm reports more than $1.6 trillion in current assets under management as of Dec. 2.
Another Meme-Worthy Ticker From a TradFi Institution
The firm was quick to celebrate the meme-worthiness of the NYSE-registered ticker name for its Solana ETF, “SOEZ,” posting that “this one was so easy” on twitter.com to mark the ETF’s launch.
This one was so easy.

As Coinspeaker recently reported, Franklin Templeton submitted its final regulatory filing for the launch of its SOEZ ETF to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Nov. 26. The subsequent SEC approval and NYSE Arca listing occurred in a matter of just one week including a US federal holiday (Thanksgiving) and weekend.
In the wake of the Dec. 3 SOEZ launch, the price of SOL experienced mild volatility before settling at $141.13 as of the time of this article’s publication. On Nov. 28 the price of SOL dipped from about $143 to $137 ultimately dropping to around $123 by Dec. 1.

However, strong ETF inflows over the 48 hours after the drop shored the price back up to the $140 range. It remains to be seen if the Franklin Templeton ETF will contribute further to SOL’s return to the $200+ mark it last held in October.
