Summary
Pando Finance will list its Solana exchange-traded fund on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 13, according to an official Solana announcement. The fund, trading under ticker 2831.HK, will be the second spot SOL ETF in Hong Kong, following the product launched by ChinaAMC. The ETF carries an estimated annual expense ratio of 1.6% and will hold SOL through custodian HashKey. Per the key facts statement, the product will not engage in staking, leverage, or dividend payouts. Some publisher summaries cite a lower management fee of 0.6%, so the fee figure should be confirmed against the prospectus.
The listing arrives during a period of weakening institutional demand. According to the article, spot SOL ETFs globally have accumulated about $1.9 billion in net assets, but flows turned negative again this month, with more than $30 million in outflows. Proponents argue the Hong Kong listing could attract new capital and interrupt that trend, given the region's expanding regulated access to the asset.
Technically, SOL has declined more than 5% in October and has struggled to clear $120, pulling back toward the $95 support zone. The Solana long/short ratio has slipped into negative territory, signaling growing bearish positioning among traders. The article notes that the roughly 5% decline is modest relative to other large-cap cryptocurrencies. On-chain activity points to continued liquidity: Circle minted $3.5 billion in USDC on Solana over the past seven days, keeping the network's stablecoin market capitalization above $16 billion, while several other chains' stablecoin balances have fallen below critical levels, according to SolanaFloor. An analyst cited in the piece noted that over $65 million in long liquidations occurred on October 8, the largest single-day flush since early June, and suggested that short-liquidity clusters could fuel a squeeze if the Hong Kong launch draws buying. A breakout above $125 is identified in the article as a potential start to a larger rally. These are the author's technical views rather than established forecasts.
