Rex-Osprey to launch 'first-ever staked crypto ETF in the US' for trading on Wednesday
Quick Take “Coming Wednesday: The First-Ever Staked Crypto ETF in the U.S.!” the firm said on Monday. The SEC is also currently reviewing a proposal to convert Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and faces a deadline on whether to approve the fund to list and trade on Wednesday.
A Solana exchange-traded fund that will track the price and deliver staking yields to holders will begin trading on Wednesday, according to REX Shares.
"Coming Wednesday: The First-Ever Staked Crypto ETF in the U.S.!" the firm said Monday on X.
REX Shares and Osprey Funds filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in May to create C-corporation ETFs that would invest in Solana, and another that invests in Ethereum. The funds would also stake some of the assets for additional yield generation.
The SEC is also considering a wide array of crypto ETFs , from ones that track SOL to DOGE in the face of a friendlier regulatory environment for crypto following President Donald Trump's inauguration in January. The SEC is also currently reviewing a proposal to convert Grayscale's Digital Large Cap Fund and faces a deadline on whether to approve the fund to list and trade on Wednesday. That fund holds a basket of crypto from bitcoin to Solana to XRP.
Rex-Osprey's approach is different from other proposals and sidesteps an approval process with a clever legal workaround; unlike most ETFs, the funds elect to be taxable C-corps. As such, staking distributions to holders will be taxed inside the fund before being distributed to holders as dividends. The management fees for both funds are 0.75%, though the income-tax accrual will cause overall fees to be higher in most cases, according to previous reporting from The Block.
The SEC previously warned that Rex Shares and Osprey Funds ETF may not meet the basic legal definition of an ETF, though that appears to have been resolved.

Deutsche Bank: The "fifth wave of tech stock rally" in US stocks since late July has peaked, prepare for a "V-shaped reversal"
Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating on US technology stocks from overweight to neutral, noting that the fifth round of tech stock rally since July 29 is approaching the upper boundary of the long-term trend channel. The current upside potential is only about 4 percentage points, while historical trends indicate downside risks could reach 16 percentage points. Funds are expected to rotate into other sectors, and the European market, with its lower tech exposure, is likely to benefit relatively. However, Deutsche Bank emphasized that the long-term outperformance trend of technology stocks remains unchanged.
How expensive is AI computing power rental in the US? "Spot price" is twice that of long-term contracts, and four times the return threshold for cloud service providers.
The short-term spot leasing price for AI computing power reaches as high as $40 to $50 billion per gigawatt per year, while the price for long-term contracts is only $20 billion per year, and the breakeven threshold for supercomputing cloud operators is around $12 billion per year. However, according to Goldman Sachs, the fundamental reason why hyperscale cloud providers like Google rent computing power at such significant premiums is that their in-house capacity cannot keep up; once their own capacity catches up, the spot premium will disappear.
