Solana ETFs Initiate Staking with 5.7% Yield
Two U.S. Solana spot ETFs launched this week: Bitwise's BSOL on Tuesday and Grayscale's GSOL on Wednesday, marking a significant move in the cryptocurrency investment space.
These ETFs, offering staking with a 5.7% yield, could absorb $5 billion Sol tokens, potentially echoing the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Bitwise's BSOL and Grayscale's GSOL started trading, each offering unique staking features uncommon in previous crypto ETFs. Their presence promises significant shifts in Solana’s investment landscape, differing from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by enabling token staking with a yield of approximately 5.7%.
Industry attention intensified following this launch, with institutional investors and analysts observing potential market shifts. Key opinion leaders, including Nate Geraci from ETF Store, highlighted upcoming regulatory reviews potentially increasing staking opportunities within ETF frameworks.
"The U.S. Solana spot ETF could replicate the successful performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum products, potentially absorbing at least 5% of the total supply of Solana tokens within the next one to two years." — Zach Pandl, Research Director, Grayscale
Solana Price Surges as ETFs Launch with Innovative Features
Did you know? The introduction of Solana ETFs with staking capabilities presents a turning point similar to the 2024 Bitcoin ETF launch, which drew significant inflows and market scrutiny.
Solana (SOL) recorded a recent price of $187.16, with a market cap of $102.90 billion and dominance at 2.79%. Over the last 24 hours, trading volume reached $6.60 billion, despite a slight decrease of 20.94%. Data from CoinMarketCap reflect a 3.48% rise in the past day, while over 30 days, prices fell by 14.98%.
Coincu analysts foresee the U.S. Solana ETFs potentially catalyzing further investment growth. Such financial instruments could change liquidity in SOL, aligning with historical trends of increased adoption when staking features are integrated.
