Grayscale's Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE), along with the Grayscale Solana Trust (GSOL), have introduced staking to their products, becoming the first US-listed spot crypto funds to offer this feature. Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg stated, "Staking in our spot Ethereum and Solana funds is exactly the kind of first-mover innovation Grayscale was built to deliver" [1].
The partnership with Figment allows investors to earn passive income through staking without the need for direct on-chain activity. This development is significant as it provides a more accessible way for investors to participate in staking opportunities, which are traditionally more complex and require technical knowledge.
The growth in Solana Treasury Holdings to $2.9 billion reflects increasing institutional confidence in the network. This growth comes despite recent profit-taking following Bitcoin's all-time high, indicating a strong underlying belief in Solana's potential. The partnership with Grayscale and the introduction of staking are expected to further bolster this confidence and drive market capitalization growth.
VisionSys AI Inc. has also announced a $2 billion strategy using Solana (SOL) with Marinade Finance, aiming to boost liquidity and value by acquiring and staking $500 million in SOL over six months. This move underscores the growing interest and investment in Solana [2].
The CME Group plans to launch options on Solana futures on October 16, 2025, and will offer 24/7 trading for cryptocurrency futures, including Solana, starting in early 2026, pending regulatory approval [2]. This development is expected to increase the liquidity and accessibility of Solana, further driving institutional adoption.
