Our read on VSOL

ETF.net Research

BVanEck was first in line at the SEC with a US Solana filing in June 2024, then arrived after the crowd. VSOL is a grantor trust that holds SOL outright and stakes part of it for network rewards.

Stated mandate

The Trust seeks to track Solana's price and staking rewards on part of its SOL holdings, after operating expenses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Holds real SOL and stakes a slice of it, passing the network's staking rewards through after expenses. No wallet, no seed phrase, no validator to babysit.vaneck.com
  2. 02Two separate crypto custodians, Gemini Trust and Coinbase Custody, hold the trust's SOL, and authorized participants can create or redeem baskets in cash or in kind.vaneck.com
  3. 03Only part of the SOL is staked, leaving unstaked coins on hand for redemptions instead of locking the whole pot behind unstaking queues.vaneck.com
  4. 04VanEck put the first US Solana trust registration on the SEC's desk in June 2024, and already ran spot bitcoin and ether funds before this one listed.cointelegraph.comvaneck.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01The standing sponsor fee is 0.30%, above the median for spot Solana funds; SOEZ, GSOL and BSOL all listed cheaper.
  2. 02One of the smaller, thinner-traded names in a crowded Solana lineup, which can mean wider spreads at the screen than the group's biggest funds.
  3. 03Staking stacks risks on top of SOL's swings: validator downtime or slashing penalties, staking-provider counterparty risk, and unsettled tax treatment of rewards.vaneck.comvaneck.com
