Pando Finance's new Solana ETF listing in Hong Kong coincides with mixed market signals for SOL. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $83,603.00, up 0.5% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 3 outlets (The Coin Republic, The News Crypto, U.Today), plus live market data, as of Tue, 13 Oct 2026 14:45:01 UTC.
The launch of Pando's Solana ETF in Hong Kong introduces new institutional investment opportunities for SOL, potentially impacting its price dynamics and market perception. This development comes amidst fluctuating trading volumes and circulating stablecoin supplies.
- Pando Solana ETF (02831) will list on HKEX on October 13 with subscriptions from October 6.
- SOL price shows relative strength at $106.02 but has fallen 4.29% in the last 24 hours.
- USDC circulating supply stands at $72.79B, contrasting with earlier reports of $3B.
Multiple outlets, including The Coin Republic, The News Crypto, Bitcoin Sistemi, and AMBCrypto, confirm that Pando Finance's Solana ETF will begin trading on HKEX on October 13, with subscriptions open from October 6 to October 12. The entry price is set at HK$800 per unit. However, while The News Crypto emphasizes the ETF's potential to increase market competition, AMBCrypto highlights concerns about SOL's price trajectory, citing rising short liquidity and contrasting it with the USDC supply, which is now verified at $72.79B by DeFiLlama, not the $3B reported by AMBCrypto.
Pando Finance is set to launch its 
Solana ETF, ticker 02831, on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) on October 13, with subscription open from October 6 to October 12. This development, reported by The News Crypto and 
Bitcoin Sistemi, marks a significant step in increasing institutional accessibility to SOL, potentially influencing its market dynamics.
The ETF's entry price is set at HK$800 per unit, with each trading unit comprising a specific amount of Solana tokens. This structure is designed to provide investors with a straightforward way to gain exposure to SOL without directly owning the cryptocurrency. The move comes as part of a broader trend of cryptocurrency ETFs being introduced in various markets, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset space.
According to multiple outlets, including The Coin Republic, the current trading price of SOL is $106.02, reflecting a 4.29% decrease in the last 24 hours. Despite this, SOL has shown relative strength compared to other altcoins, with the overall crypto market remaining relatively flat. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 57, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment, which suggests a cautious optimism in the market.
The launch of the Pando Solana ETF coincides with a verified USDC circulating supply of $72.79B, as reported by DeFiLlama. This contrasts with earlier reports from AMBCrypto, which mentioned a $3 billion USDC supply, highlighting the importance of accurate data verification. The discrepancy in the USDC supply figures underscores the need for careful analysis of market conditions and data sources.
AMBCrypto also raises concerns about potential bearish signals for SOL, citing rising short liquidity. This suggests that while the ETF launch may attract new investors, it could also be seen as an opportunity for short sellers to capitalize on price volatility. The interplay between these factors will be crucial in determining SOL's near-term price trajectory.
As the market awaits the ETF's official launch, investors will be closely monitoring SOL's price movements and trading volumes. The success of this ETF could set a precedent for similar products in other markets, potentially driving further institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. Traders should keep an eye on key support and resistance levels for SOL, as well as broader market trends, to gauge the ETF's impact.
