SEC Signals Potential Green Light for Solana ETFs with Staking Features
Last week, REX Shares opened the proverbial floodgates to a brave new world of yield-generating crypto. This regulatory advance would be a major step toward staked Solana (SOL) ETFs being launched in the United States. The announcement follows unmistakable signs from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent months. So maybe they’ll go ahead and approve Solana ETFs late this year.
On June 27 th , 2025, REX Shares tweeted about their thrilling development! They recently announced that their next ETF product would include SOL exposure and would provide staking rewards. The SEC has requested revisions to the language used in filings, specifically addressing in-kind redemptions and staking practices for these innovative Solana ETFs.
A new ETF being launched by REX Shares could help. This new fund will both track Solana’s performance and earn yield through on-chain staking. This ETF is the first of its kind to provide investors exposure to SOL while simultaneously making them eligible for staking rewards, crypto investors’ best friend.

Seven asset managers—including Invesco, VanEck, and ARK Invest—are chomping at the bit to have Solana ETFs approved. That second group includes Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, Canary Capital, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton. To address the SEC’s concerns, all seven asset managers have amended their filings to include staking capabilities.
REX Shares is running a thrilling “Coming Soon” promotion for staked ETH and SOL ETFs. The Whole Crypto Community is excited and expecting great things! No clarifying statements have been released about when these, or any other ETFs, might be approved or launched.
If Solana ETFs are approved, this would be one of the most important advancements in the crypto investment space. With staking being integrated into the actual ETF structure, these ETFs can provide investors with different opportunities to earn rewards on their investments.
