21Shares AG has filed an S-1 registration with the SEC to launch a SEI ETF, entering the competitive ETF landscape alongside Canary Capital in the U.S.

This move highlights increasing interest in altcoin-focused ETFs, potentially impacting market dynamics and attracting investor interest in Layer 1 blockchain tokens.

21Shares AG, a leading entity in crypto products, submitted an S-1 filing with the SEC on August 28, 2025, proposing to launch the SEI ETF.

This filing may drive interest and investment into altcoin ETFs, impacting the Layer 1 blockchain sector.

21Shares Targets SEI with SEC ETF Submission

21Shares AG filed an S-1 registration to launch the SEI ETF, targeting SEI token price performance. This filing highlights 21Shares’ continued expansion in crypto financial products by introducing potential staking rewards. Coinbase Custody will safeguard the SEI tokens, with CF Benchmarks Ltd as the index provider. Canary Capital previously sought to introduce the first SEI ETF, indicating rising competition in altcoin-focused ETFs.

“With the launch of our SEI ETF, we aim to provide investors with a unique opportunity to engage with the Sei Layer 1 blockchain and benefit from potential staking rewards.” – Unknown, 21Shares AG

SEI ETF Aims to Attract Layer 1 Token Investors

The introduction of the SEI ETF aims to attract investor attention to the potential growth of Layer 1 tokens. The option for staking rewards sets a precedent that could impact investor interest and inflows.

This move may affect the broader Layer 1 sector as similar ETFs for major cryptocurrencies like SOL, XRP, BTC, and ETH also seek approval. Investor sentiment and sector dynamics could shift accordingly.

Solana ETF Precedent for SEI Approval Hopes

Historical filings such as the Spot BTC/ETH ETFs have shown significant institutional inflows. Solana ETF filing with staking components, currently under review, sets a similar precedent for the SEI ETF.

Examining past events, potential outcomes could include increased liquidity and staking activities. Analysis suggests optimism despite regulatory hurdles, reflecting industry expectations for successful approvals.
