Recently, the SOL Staking ETF quietly launched, but no one seems to be talking about it. @calilyliu pointed out that there’s actually a bullish transmission path behind it. Let me break it down briefly: On October 28th, Bitwise launched the Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) on NYSE in a low-key manner. Just three days later, it reported an impressive AUM of $329 million, with $46 million inflows in a single day. Additionally, Grayscale’s GSOL also went live at the same time. But strangely, the market hasn’t shown any “reaction” to this. In fact, the market is clearly underestimating the potential bullish transmission path of the SOL Staking ETF: 1) Spot purchases are now rigid. The staking demand generated by the ETF creates corresponding demand to sweep up SOL from the spot market. Behind the $329 million AUM in three days is at least 1 million SOL spot purchases. 2) Once these spot tokens are bought, they are delegated to staking validators and won’t circulate directly in the market. This effectively creates supply deflation while also strengthening the security of the @Solana network. 3) The 6-7% APY staking yield provides traditional institutions with a compelling reason to allocate to SOL staking ETFs. For entities like pension funds and insurance funds, which often operate in long-term low-interest environments, SOL’s native staking yield offers a predictable return opportunity. 4) Institutions can hold spot SOL through BSOL to earn staking yields while using delta-neutral strategies to short SOL futures to hedge against spot price fluctuations, locking in risk-free arbitrage opportunities. Similarly, this directly benefits SOL DAT companies (like HSDT, FORD) that purchase large amounts of spot SOL.
