A regulated crypto staking ETF is set to debut in the U.S., unlocking yield potential and paving the way for a new era of compliant digital asset investing.

New ETF Combines SOL Exposure With Staking Income in Regulated Structure

A yield-bearing crypto investment vehicle is about to make its debut in the regulated U.S. market, potentially setting a precedent for staking-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Industry observers have been closely watching developments around solana ( SOL) as asset managers push to offer products that integrate both price exposure and staking income. Regulatory caution has previously delayed such offerings, but this week could mark a turning point. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas stated on social media platform X on Monday:

The Rex-Osprey SOL+ Staking ETF $SSK is officially set to launch on Wed … and will be the first to stake in U.S.

He added: “40% of its holdings will be ‘securities’ via other SOL ETPs (to qualify under 40 Act) and fee is 75bps but 1.28% once tax expense from c-corp structure factored in.” Fellow Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart hinted at the same timeline, posting on X: “Seems like this solana staking ETF could be going live this week.” The launch of $SSK is expected to open doors for other products that combine crypto exposure with yield generation in a compliant structure.

Rex Shares had announced on X on June 27:

Coming soon: The first-ever staked crypto ETF in the U.S.!

The fund, officially named the Rex-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF, is designed to track solana’s market price while incorporating rewards earned through onchain staking. The asset manager called it “a new era of yield-generating crypto exposure,” highlighting its dual objective of capital appreciation and income. This approach positions the fund as an alternative to traditional crypto holdings that rely solely on market performance.

In addition, Rex Shares has filed for a second product, the Rex-Osprey ETH + Staking ETF, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This fund seeks to replicate the performance of ether ( ETH) while accruing staking rewards. The SEC’s past skepticism toward staking-linked ETFs has focused on investor protection and legal classification of staking income. Still, advocates argue these structured ETFs can deliver yield and transparency, making decentralized finance more accessible to institutional investors within a regulated framework.
