Specifically, a U.S.-based Solana Staking ETF (SSK) just went live. Through REX-Osprey’s ETF structure, it provides a regulated way for investors to gain exposure to SOL and blockchain staking rewards. SSK’s historic launch represents a paradigm shift, allowing exposure to regulated assets with staking income. The ETF came flying out of the gate with nearly $12 million in inflows on its debut day. It was the subject of close to $33 million in trading volume on U.S. exchanges.

Solana Staking ETF (SSK) Provides Regulated SOL Exposure

The Solana Staking ETF (SSK), offered by REX-Osprey, offers a strong blueprint for how yield ETFs could look moving forward. The ETF works somewhat differently than the proposed Bitcoin spot ETF, earning staking rewards on behalf of investors. The Solana Staking ETF (SSK) was created to take advantage of PoS chains. Later this year, it plans to scale up to go after additional chains such as Cardano or Ethereum.

SSK’s launch is undoubtedly an indication of a move towards acceptance of crypto-related investment products within traditional finance. Its success would indeed create a path for other ETFs targeting other cryptocurrencies. Industry experts believe there’s room for more ETFs like this one to hit the market, particularly for Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP (XRP).
