#REX-OSPREYSolanaETF
On July 2, 2025, the Cboe BZX Exchange witnessed the launch of the first ETF in the U.S. focused on Solana + staking: the REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF (ticker SSK).
It was structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940, with Anchorage Digital as custodian and staking partner.
This fund offers exposure to the price of SOL (≈80 % of assets) and staking rewards (7.3 % annually), in addition to allocating nearly 40 % of its portfolio to ETPs that also engage in staking or liquid staking (for example, JitoSOL).
During its debut, it recorded volumes of 33 million USD, with net inflows of 12 million, and was considered a “healthy” start by analysts like James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas.
Despite a previous price drop of $SOL (–8 %, trading near 145 USD), the ETF sparked institutional optimism, even with projections estimating a wave of new ETFs for altcoins in the second half of the year.
