In a first for the crypto ETF market, REX-Osprey, a joint venture between REX Shares and Osprey Funds, launched the REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF (BATS:SSK), the first U.S.-listed ETF to provide both spot Solana (SOL/USD) exposure and staking returns in a typical brokerage account.
This product sets a precedent among ETFs by combining conventional investment vehicle designs with blockchain-native income streams. In contrast with derivatives-based crypto products, SSK seeks pure-play SOL exposure without futures-based contango drag and introduces a twist: staking rewards, which presently return 7.3%, are rebated to investors, with no take by the fund sponsors.
