June 30, 2025 – Binance Editorial Team
The digital asset space may be on the verge of a major breakthrough: a Solana (SOL) spot ETF with built-in staking rewards is reportedly set to launch as early as this week. Industry expert James Seyffart, ETF analyst at Bloomberg, revealed the potential listing of the REX Shares Solana ETF via a tweet on June 30.
If confirmed, this ETF would be the first U.S.-based crypto fund to incorporate native staking, offering both price exposure and on-chain yield for investors.
Key Highlights:
Expected launch: The ETF could begin trading as soon as Wednesday, July 2, according to insiders.
Regulatory structure: Filed under the ’40 Act as a C-corporation, bypassing the traditional 19b-4 rule changes, the ETF may enter the market more swiftly than previous crypto funds.
On-chain staking included: At least 50% of fund-held SOL will be staked directly on the Solana network, and staking rewards will be distributed to shareholders, according to public filings.
Market reaction: Following the news, SOL rose by nearly 5%, and analysts predict the ETF could attract between $3B and $6B in capital over the next year.
Why This Matters to the Binance Community
For Binance users and the wider crypto ecosystem, the introduction of a staking-enabled spot ETF signals a new era of composable crypto investing — blending DeFi-native income generation with traditional financial infrastructure.
Benefits for investors include:
Exposure to SOL price action through a regulated instrument.
Access to staking rewards without managing private keys or validator nodes.
Increased institutional adoption, potentially boosting long-term confidence in Solana and related projects.

Regulatory Innovation
The filing as a C-Corp under the ’40 Act is particularly notable. This allows the fund to avoid delays often associated with 19b-4 approvals and opens the door to alternative ETF pathways for other staking-capable tokens in the future.
This move could potentially reshape the SEC’s stance on staking in publicly traded vehicles.
