Bitwise is set to launch its Solana exchange-traded product (ETP), the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), on Tuesday, May 10. This marks the first-ever ETP to offer 100% direct exposure to the spot price of Solana (SOL). The product will debut on the New York Stock Exchange, solidifying Bitwise’s position in the crypto ETF market.
Bitwise’s new Solana Staking ETF will be denoted by the ticker symbol BSOL. The firm’s announcement on X states that it is the first ETF of its kind.
The firm believes that the growing interest in Solana will fuel the ETF’s success.
The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF will provide investors with exposure to Solana’s staking rewards. Solana has emerged as one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. It ranks as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency, making it a strong contender in the rapidly growing crypto market.
The launch of the BSOL ETF highlights the increasing mainstream adoption of Solana. Investors will now have a more accessible way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency. Bitwise’s Solana ETF is likely to draw attention from both institutional and retail investors seeking to capitalize on Solana’s future potential.
Bitwise’s Solana ETF comes as several firms plan to launch similar products. Canary Capital is set to debut its Litecoin ETF and HBAR ETF on Nasdaq on Tuesday. The Grayscale Solana Trust ETF is expected to follow, launching on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter.
These moves signal that cryptocurrency ETFs are gaining traction in the financial market. Firms are eager to meet investor demand for products that track digital assets. The introduction of these crypto ETFs could provide investors with greater liquidity and market exposure.
Despite the U.S. government shutdown, the SEC has clarified that firms can proceed with the launches of crypto ETFs. The regulatory body released guidance that allows firms to file for public listings without additional delays. This has created a favorable environment for more crypto ETFs to hit the market in the near future. The introduction of Solana ETFs, such as BSOL, highlights the increasing significance of digital asset-backed investment products.
