Bitwise Asset Management has introduced the Bitwise Solana Staking ETP (BSOL) on Xetra, offering a 0.20% management fee. This marks a move towards providing low‑cost, institutional‑grade access to staked SOL for European investors.
Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, expressed enthusiasm about the launch. The Solana ETP follows similar products for Ethereum and Aptos, emphasizing Bitwise's strategy to expand its crypto asset offerings. In his words, “At Bitwise, we continue expanding our product suite to provide investors with access to the opportunities in crypto through high quality vehicles they can trust. Solana is one of the rising star assets in the space, and we're thrilled to be launching BSOL, the third staking ETP we are launching this year, after the Ethereum and Aptos staking ETPs in February and November respectively.”

ETP Aims to Enhance Solana Market Liquidity
The new ETP aims to increase institutional access to Solana, potentially affecting market liquidity and staking demand. However, clear on‑chain impacts remain undisclosed.
Financially, the 0.20% fee is consistent with previous Bitwise products, possibly initiating a trend in fee compression for European crypto ETPs. Regulatory responses remain absent, but expert opinions suggest potential effects on the Solana ecosystem. You can find more about the fee details in their SEC filing.
Staking ETPs Showcase Growth in PoS Investments
Bitwise's launch of staking ETPs for Ethereum and Aptos earlier this year provides a precedent for this event. This pattern highlights the growth of Proof of Stake products within traditional investment environments.
Experts anticipate that the BSOL might drive greater participation in the Solana blockchain. This aligns with historical trends in crypto product adoption, indicating a growing institutional interest in digital assets.
