🚨 Breaking: First U.S. Staked Solana ETF Launching This Week
A historic milestone for crypto and Solana: the REX–Osprey Solana Staking ETF has received SEC approval and will go live this Wednesday. It’s the first U.S. ETF offering spot SOL exposure + staking yield — all under a regulated structure.
📌 Key Details
• Issuers: REX Shares & Osprey Funds
• Structure: Spot Solana holdings + staking rewards
• SEC Approved: Launching this week
• Market Response: $SOL up 16% in 4 days, now trading above $160
📈 Why This Matters
1. Institutional Onboarding
SOL now becomes accessible to 401(k)s, IRAs, pension funds, and TradFi allocators seeking regulated crypto exposure.
2. Yield + Capital Growth
Investors can now earn staking rewards passively while holding SOL — no validator setup, no self-custody risk.
3. New ETF Era?
If this product succeeds, it could pave the way for staking ETFs in AVAX, ATOM, NEAR, and beyond.
📊 Bullish Implications
Institutional flows could trigger a liquidity wave. SOL’s strong DeFi/NFT ecosystem supports long-term adoption.
This ETF marks a shift: staking is no longer just for crypto-native users — it’s entering traditional finance.
