Solana spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been a topic of great anticipation, with one particular ETF by

REX
Shares, featuring staking, potentially going live this week. This information was shared by Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart on June 30, 2025, via his post on X. Seyffart's comment comes just days after REX Shares announced that its REX-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF is "coming soon," which was shared on June 28, 2025.

REX Shares submitted its ETF application using the C corporation, or ‘40 Act’ structure, which is less commonly used compared to the 19b-4 registration model. This strategic choice by REX Shares is seen as a regulatory workaround that could position the REX-Osprey ETF for first approval. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears to have moved to greenlight it following initial reservations. ETF Store president Nate Geraci commented that the regulator seems comfortable with the launch of the SOL + Staking ETF. Other experts have offered similar views, with Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noting that REX Shares has filed a letter to the SEC asking if comments have been resolved for their ‘40 Act

Solana
Staking ETF, indicating their intent to get it to market ahead of other spot ETFs.

According to REX Shares, the Solana ETF set to launch will be the first staking-enabled cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund in the United States. This ETF will track Solana’s price performance while allowing investors to generate yield through on-chain staking. In addition to providing exposure to SOL, the product offers access to staking rewards. This development is significant as it provides investors with a new way to engage with the Solana ecosystem, potentially driving further interest and investment in the cryptocurrency.

Analysts have recently forecasted that spot Solana ETFs have a 95% chance of receiving SEC approval in 2025. This forecast underscores the growing acceptance and regulatory clarity around cryptocurrency ETFs, which could pave the way for more innovative financial products in the future. The launch of the REX-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF, if it goes live this week, would mark a significant milestone in the evolution of cryptocurrency investment vehicles, offering investors a unique combination of price exposure and yield generation through staking.
