CoinShares Partners With FTX to Launch the World’s First Solana ETP

Europe’s largest digital asset investment firm CoinShares has announced a partnership with leading cryptocurrency exchange FTX Global to launch the world’s physically-backed exchange-traded product (ETP) for Solana (SOL). Designed to share the staking rewards in a transparent way, the physically settled Solana ETP will launch with 1 million SOL worth $91 million (at the time of writing) in assets under management (AUM). The staking rewards for the Solana product have been set at 3% per annum while the management fee is reduced to 0% yearly. “CoinShares has a proven track record of providing European investors with innovative and regulated crypto-asset investment vehicles for close to a decade, making them the obvious choice to collaborate with for institutional offerings. We’re excited to work alongside CoinShares to give investors access to the Solana ecosystem and we look forward to collaborating further on additional offerings,” said Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX CEO.
