- SSK is the first U.S.-listed ETF to offer both Solana exposure and on-chain staking rewards.
- The fund stakes up to 60% of its SOL directly, with additional exposure via staked ETPs and liquid tokens.
- REX and Osprey pass 100% of staking rewards to investors, with no cut taken from the yield.
REX-Osprey launched the first U.S.-listed ETF offering exposure to Solana (SOL) and its staking rewards. The new product, called SSK – REX-Osprey Solana + Staking ETF, started trading on July 2, 2025. It allows investors to earn blockchain-native yields directly through their brokerage accounts.
The fund offers spot exposure to Solana, avoiding futures contracts that can suffer from contango. More importantly, it includes direct and indirect staking mechanisms. Around 50–60% of the ETF’s assets are directly staked SOL, while 40% are placed in exchange-traded products that stake SOL. The remaining portion includes liquid staking tokens like JitoSOL.

Unlike other funds, SSK passes all staking rewards to investors. REX and Osprey confirmed they will not take a cut. The current staking reward rate sits at 7.3%, offering a yield not typically found in traditional ETFs.
REX-Osprey says the new ETF creates a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto.
“This is a major milestone,”
said Greg King, CEO of REX Financial.
“With SSK, we’re giving investors Solana staking rewards in a familiar ETF format.”

The ETF is open to both retail and institutional investors. It’s also structured to meet U.S. regulations by using a combination of spot tokens and staking proxy products. SSK gives investors exposure to Solana’s blockchain economy while keeping the simplicity of securities investing.
This launch marks a first in the U.S. market. While other crypto ETFs exist, none have delivered native on-chain staking rewards until now.
