VanEck Files for First-Ever US Liquid Staking ETF with JitoSOL Fund

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Global asset manager VanEck has filed with the SEC to launch a novel exchange-traded fund: the VanEck JitoSOL ETF. This would be the first US ETF to be backed solely by a liquid staking token.

The proposed fund aims to give investors exposure to Solana’s staking rewards through a regulated, traditional market vehicle.

JitoSOL represents staked SOL and accrues validator rewards. The filing tests the SEC’s evolving stance on crypto staking within ETFs and follows a July letter from industry players, including VanEck, advocating for such products.
