Our read on SOEZ
AFranklin's Solana fund stakes nearly all its coins and tracks a staked-return benchmark, so network rewards are part of the mandate, not a bonus. It also came out of the gate with the sponsor fee waived.
The Fund seeks to track the price performance of Solana, before deducting its expenses.
Why people hold it
- Stakes as much of its Solana as practicable (up to 100%) through a third-party staking provider, and tracks a staked-return index rather than a plain spot price.franklintempleton.comfranklintempleton.com
- Priced at the low end of the spot Solana group: a 0.19% sponsor fee, waived in full from the day shares listed through May 31, 2026.franklintempleton.com
- A conventional passive grantor trust from a large traditional manager, listed on NYSE Arca, with no structural red flags in its filings.franklintempleton.com
- Stands among the stronger builds in a young spot Solana cohort, where cheaper wrappers and higher staked ratios are the whole ballgame.
Worth knowing
- The fee holiday has an end date. After May 31, 2026, the 0.19% sponsor fee applies.franklintempleton.com
- A small asset base and thin trading mean wider bid-ask spreads and more care needed on order size and timing.
- Launched December 2025, so the track record is short, and staking rewards move with network conditions rather than arriving on a fixed schedule.franklintempleton.com
