Bitwise Makes History with Solana ($BSOL) ETF Launch Offering 7%+ Rewards

• Bitwise’s new Solana ETF ($BSOL) debuts as the first U.S. fund with full spot exposure to SOL.
• The ETF offers 7%+ average staking rewards with zero fees for a limited time.
• Despite the announcement, SOL’s price remains stable near $199 after a weekly gain of 8%.

Bitwise Investments has made a historic move by introducing the first-ever Solana spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.

The ETF, named Bitwise Solana Staking ETF ($BSOL), was officially approved by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and will begin trading at market open tomorrow. The SEC is expected to publish the registration statement on its website in the morning.

The ETF offers investors 100% direct exposure to SOL, thereby becoming the first of its kind in the country. As per statements by Bitwise, the fund aims for 100% of assets to be staked. The investment comes with a 0% management fee that has been temporarily waived.

Bitwise’s aim of Solana blockchain integration is to connect the world of traditional capital markets with on-chain finance. The average annual staking reward of 7% on SOL offers an incentive for investors.

Similarly, on the same day, the proposed ETF of Canary Capital involving the holding of Hedera (HBAR) and Litecoin (LTC) also came into being, as Steven McClurg, the CEO of the company, confirmed in an email. He added that both ETFs were set to list on the Nasdaq on Tuesday.

Solana Price Holds Ground Despite ETF Excitement

Although the listing of the ETF has generated quite an excitement within the markets, Solana’s price has actually reacted very little within the last 24 hours. The SOL token is trading at $199.19, which marks an 8% increase within the last week.

In early April, SOL had reached $253 but could hardly get over the barrier of $250. This acts as Solana’s toughest barrier to touching fresh records.

At the moment, the token is finding support around $185. This mid-level area has been an important level of support since early October. The Relative Strength Index appears to be headed towards the 50-level.

Also, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence has given a bearish cross. This signals that there may be a short-term correction in the market.

Market observers like Ali Martinez had indicated that SOL may rise towards $210 before it decides to break out or undergo a correction. These were factors that were being closely observed by SOL traders.
