TLDR
Two US Solana (SOL) ETFs currently stake SOL: Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and the REX Osprey staked Solana ETF, both described as yield?bearing products in recent coverage (Bitwise BSOL, REX Osprey first staked SOL ETF).
- BSOL launched in October and is explicitly framed as a staking ETF that pays rewards via the fund structure (report).
- REX Osprey debuted the first staked Solana ETF in June, establishing the category in the US (overview).
- Other SOL ETFs exist, but policies differ; recent flow updates show mixed moves across TSOL, BSOL, and Grayscales SOL fund (flows snapshot).
Deep Dive
1. BSOL Staking
Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) launched in October and is positioned to distribute staking rewards within the ETF wrapper. This makes it a yield?bearing SOL exposure rather than a pure spot hold, per a recent fund roundup that highlighted BSOLs staking design and October launch date (summary).
For investors, the key differences versus non?staked SOL exposure are potential extra yield and the prospect of tracking variance versus spot SOL due to staking economics and fees. Evidence of ongoing investor interest shows BSOL drawing inflows even when some peers see redemptions (flows snapshot).
If you want SOL exposure with embedded staking yield and ETF convenience, BSOL is a live, US?listed option to research further.
2. REX Osprey First Mover
The first US staked Solana ETF was issued by REX Osprey in June, establishing that a US?listed SOL product could incorporate staking from day one (coverage). That first?mover status matters because it set a template for yield?bearing SOL ETFs and helped define disclosures around staking mechanics and validator practices.
While detailed mechanics vary by issuer, category coverage notes that staked SOL ETFs have marketed staking reward ranges in the mid?single digits, with investor demand holding up even through volatile markets (category context).
REX Ospreys product is another US vehicle to get staking?enabled SOL exposure in a brokerage account.
3. What To Check Before You Choose
Staking policies and validator selection can change over time, and fees, reward pass?through, and slashing protections differ by prospectus. Flow data show that not all SOL funds behave the same day to day, with recent periods where TSOL saw outflows while BSOL and Grayscales SOL ETF attracted inflows (flows snapshot).
Practical checklist: confirm whether the fund truly stakes SOL now, how rewards are handled (net of fees), and what risk mitigations exist if validators are penalized. Marketing sometimes cites 57% reward ranges, but realized yields are path?dependent and subject to costs (category context).
Before allocating, read the latest fact sheet and prospectus to verify current staking status, net yield mechanics, and risk controls.
Conclusion
Today, the staking SOL ETF set includes Bitwises BSOL and the REX Osprey staked Solana ETF based on recent fund coverage. The appeal is embedded yield in an ETF format, but outcomes depend on fees, validator choices, and policy stability. Reviewing each issuers prospectus and current disclosures is the best way to confirm ongoing staking and compare net yield versus non?staked SOL exposure.
