• First-ever staked crypto ETF in the U.S. launches this Wednesday
• SEC decision on Grayscale’s crypto basket due the same day
Paradisers! Wednesday could be the day the ETF game finally catches up with the crypto age, and it’s not just about price tracking anymore. We’re talking staking yields. Dividends. And yes, a legal workaround that has Wall Street blinking.
Solana ETF With Staking Yields? Rex-Osprey Just Made It Happen
REX Shares and Osprey Funds just dropped the mic: the first-ever U.S. staked crypto ETF will begin trading Wednesday. This Solana-backed product isn’t your average spot tracker, it actually delivers staking yields within the fund.
How? Through a clever setup. Instead of your usual ETF structure, Rex-Osprey’s funds elect C-corp tax status, allowing them to stake assets internally and distribute yields to investors as dividends, taxed inside the fund before you even see it. It’s part innovation, part legal kung-fu.
The fee? 0.75%. But heads up: income tax accruals mean real fees will likely be higher. Still, the value proposition is juicy, passive exposure + staking yield + U.S. listing? That’s an investor magnet.
A New Era in Motion—SEC Scrutinizes Grayscale, Too
Meanwhile, the SEC faces a Wednesday deadline on Grayscale’s proposed transformation of its Digital Large Cap Fund into a tradable ETF. That fund holds a basket of heavyweights, BTC, SOL, XRP, and more.
Regulators are clearly loosening up post-Trump-inauguration, but they’re not letting the floodgates burst. SEC had warned this ETF structure may not meet standard definitions, but now, it’s greenlit. That speaks volumes.
Why Traders Should Be Paying Close Attention
This isn’t just a win for ETF nerds, it’s a directional signal for yield-hungry market participants. If ETFs start offering staking rewards, the narrative around passive crypto investing shifts overnight.
This ETF isn’t just following the market. It’s feeding it. And if the SEC okays Grayscale’s conversion on the same day, expect more funds to line up behind this taxable, yield-focused model.
