VanEck Doubles Down on Crypto with a Bold Bet on Solana Staking

Fresh off its successful Bitcoin and Ether ETF launches, asset management giant VanEck is already pushing into crypto’s next frontier: staking. The firm has filed for the first-ever US ETF based on a liquid staking token, JitoSOL.

This isn’t just another fund—it’s a potential game-changer. It aims to package the yield-generating power of Solana staking into a familiar ETF wrapper available in any brokerage account.

The filing signals strong institutional confidence in Solana’s ecosystem and sets up a crucial test with regulators. It comes just weeks after the Jito team and allies, including VanEck, made a direct pitch to the SEC, arguing that products like this are the logical next step for the industry.
