Justin Sun, the founder of TRON (TRX), confirmed the speculation surrounding the TRX spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). In a post to his 3.8 million followers on X, Sun shared a link to the S-1 filing submitted by Canary Capital, marking the first official application for a TRX ETF in the United States.

The proposed ETF aims to track the spot price of TRX, providing investors with an annual return of 4.5% through staking rewards. This dual feature distinguishes it from other cryptocurrency ETF proposals, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not yet approved any ETF that includes a staking component. Notably, Grayscale's similar application for its Ethereum ETF is still under review.
