According to a new proposal from REX Shares and Osprey Funds, a U.S. ETF providing Solana staking opportunities may emerge, pending SEC approval.
ETF Proposal for Solana
The REX-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF targets Solana staking for U.S. investors. Key participants REX Shares and Osprey Funds are moving beyond thematic ETFs to offer a regulated staking option.
Anticipated Institutional Investment
The launch of the ETF could attract substantial institutional investments into Solana staking without custody issues. Expected impacts include increased network activity, positive effects on SOL and ETH markets, introducing new liquidity.
ETF Structure and Distinction from Bitcoin and Ethereum
The ETF's structure diverges from spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which do not offer staking yield. Anticipated approval may set precedents for other Proof of Stake layer-1 assets.
The proposal for a Solana staking ETF by REX Shares and Osprey Funds has the potential to change the dynamics of the crypto market, attracting new institutional investments and increasing network activity.
