Solana Staking ETF: The start of institutional investors begins

With the first Solana Staking ETF, a new chapter of the crypto investments in the regulated US market starts. The product combines course participation and on-chain yields-and could be groundbreaking for the institutional integration of digital assets.
With the Rex-Osprey Sol + Staking ETF, the first regulated product is launched in the USA that enables investors to combine in Solana and on-chain staking yields. A remarkable step – not only for Solana, but for the broader adaptation of blockchain -based yield models in the regulated capital market.
First stacking ETF with Solana access
With the SSK ETF, Rex Shares and Osprey Funds are bringing a new US exchange-traded product to the market that for the first time combines Solana exposure with native staking yields in regulated form. Investors not only participate in the course of the course, but also in the ongoing network returns of around 8 % PA
After the announcement, the SOL course rose to around $ 160-an increase of about six percent, but largely released its profits. Despite this movement, Solana continues to list around 46 % below the all -time high. In the new ETF, experts see a potential catalyst for reinforced medium inflows of institutional investors who want to diversify beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Technical structure and legal framework
The ETF is based on a C-corporation structure with Cayman vehicles and, in addition to direct Sol, also contains shares in existing Solana ETPs in Canada and Europe. The regulatory framework was selected to enable staking under SEC-compliant conditions.
It is not a classic spot ETF in a black rock style, but a hybrid construct of US ETF envelope and offshore staking exposure-a functional compromise between regulatory feasibility and on-chain performance. The SEC had already signaled in May that staking components in ETFs could be permitted-the Rex-Osprey model is the first implementation of this option in a US product.
Market opening for old coins and structured on-chain yields
The new ETF signals an opening of the regulatory corridor for old coins – especially those with economically relevant network functions. Products based on SOL, XRP and other Layer 1S are now being traded with high probability of admission. The Rex-Osprey-Vehikel could act as a blueprint for structured Altcoin products with an integrated earnings model. Staking, previously primarily anchored in retail, gains institutional legitimation through this form – embedded in a regulated securities.
Solana's positioning in the new on-chain financial architecture

With extremely high transaction capacity, low fees and growing DeFi-, NFT and Payment activity is increasingly being traded as a viable layer 1 alternative to Ethereum.
In addition, Solana is also evident in the tokenization of real assets (RWAS) and the integration of regulated stable coins as a platform of choice. The increasing integration of tokenized assets and digital flows of payment on a blockchain basis underlines Solanas growing relevance as an infrastructure for the institutional capital market.
