ETF

Big news is shaking up the crypto investment world! REX Shares has officially announced the upcoming launch of the “REX-Osprey SOL+Staking ETF”, a groundbreaking exchange-traded fund that not only tracks the price performance of Solana (SOL) — but also generates returns through on-chain staking.

Yes, you read that right. This isn't just another ETF. It’s the first staking-based crypto ETF in the United States.

📈 The ETF aims to combine price tracking with passive income from staking rewards, opening up a powerful new way for traditional investors to earn from crypto — without holding tokens directly.

And here’s the real kicker:

According to Bloomberg’s ETF expert Eric Balchunas, the U.S. SEC has no further objections to the proposal. That’s as close to a green light as it gets in the ETF world.

🚨 Just months ago, the SEC had flagged legal concerns over whether staking-based ETFs fit the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act. But now, it seems those regulatory hurdles have been cleared.

This move could open the floodgates for future staking ETFs, not just for Solana but for other major blockchains as well.

👉 One thing is clear: the lines between traditional finance and decentralized finance are officially starting to blur — and Solana is leading the way.#solana $SOL

"Solana" (#SolanaETF ) po wpisaniu na listę aktywnych firm depozytowych i rozliczeniowych. Ta klasyfikacja odzwierciedla postęp, chociaż nie potwierdza zatwierdzenia regulacyjnego. Według analityka Bloomberga, Jamesa Seifarta, decyzja może zostać ogłoszona w ciągu kilku tygodni lub do października. Pomimo oczekiwań związanych z rejestracją funduszu ETF VanEck "Solana", fundusz nie był w stanie ponownie przetestować poziomu 200 dolarów. Traderzy przewidywali wzrost momentum po jego wpisaniu na giełdę DTCC, jednak cena Solany wciąż napotyka opór. W miarę zmiany zainteresowania rynku, nowe, tanie alternatywy przyciągają uwagę inwestorów. W tym klimacie, akcje "Little Baby" (LILPEPE) stały się głównym konkurentem.

$SUI znacznie spadł z 2,91 po pionowym skoku, obecnie testuje obszar wsparcia w okolicy 2,58–2,60. Spadek wydaje się zdrowy i kontrolowany, co może otworzyć drogę do silnego kontynuowania, jeśli byki odzyskają impet. W miarę jak kupujący nadal utrzymują się powyżej poprzedniego minimum na poziomie 2,29, ten obszar wygląda na potencjalny obszar do ponownego załadunku dla traderów trendowych.

According to Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas, the revised filings are a positive development. “Good signs as it indicates SEC engagement, and tracks with other spot approvals,” Balchunas wrote on X.
Bitwise had originally filed for the Dogecoin ETF in January and followed with the Aptos ETF application in March. The San Francisco-based asset manager already has other crypto ETF offerings like the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), and several other applications pending, including one for an XRP-focused fund.
Bitwise DOGE and Aptos ETF filings amended
Bitwise’s initial DOGE S-1 filing showed that it was requesting the registration of its ETF under the Securities Act of 1933, also known as the ’33 Act. This differs from earlier applications by firms Rex Shares and Osprey Funds, which used the Investment Company Act of 1940 framework.
The ’40 Act has more profound investor protections, including stricter governance requirements, but the ’33 Act is used for commodity-based and physically-backed ETFs. The approach may give Bitwise flexibility in structuring these funds, although it also subjects them to a different regulatory lens.
Meanwhile, Bitwise’s Aptos ETF, if approved, would become the first US-based fund focused solely on APT, the native token of the Aptos blockchain. The firm registered a Delaware trust for the Aptos ETF on February 28 and filed the corresponding S-1 with the SEC on March 5.
The fund does not propose a staking mechanism, even though Aptos is a proof-of-stake blockchain. 
The firm will also need to submit a 19b-4 form to trigger the SEC’s official review window. Once the SEC acknowledges the filing, a 240-day countdown begins for the agency to issue a final decision.
‘In-kind’ creation is an addition to the Dogecoin ETF filing
One update in Bitwise’s amended Dogecoin ETF filing is the inclusion of in-kind creations and redemptions. This could allow authorized participants to deliver or receive Dogecoin directly rather than converting to or from cash. The initial January filing lacked this provision.
In-kind transactions are favored for reducing slippage and improving tax efficiency, and their inclusion is seen as a regulatory necessity for future spot crypto ETFs.
Coinbase Custody will serve as the custodian for the Dogecoin ETF as well. However, the SEC has yet to approve the fund, having extended its review period on June 12 to assess concerns over market risks and investor protection. The Dogecoin ETF was initially filed on March 3 and opened to public comment shortly after.
On Wednesday, asset manager IDX filed for a hybrid ETF offering exposure to both gold and Bitcoin. The proposed fund will not hold physical assets but will instead invest through a mix of futures, options, swaps, and other exchange-traded products. 
Per the SEC’s prospectus, the fund will operate via a Cayman Islands subsidiary and comply with US tax laws on a 1.25x leveraged exposure.
