Direct exposure and staking integration
Unlike synthetic or derivative-based crypto funds, BSOL provides 100% spot exposure to Solana, allowing investors to participate directly in the asset’s performance. The fund targets 100% staking of its holdings, maximizing Solana’s average 7%+ annual reward rate, based on recent 90-day averages reported by Helius Labs.
Bitwise will manage the staking process through its on-chain infrastructure arm, Bitwise Onchain Solutions, leveraging Helius’ technology for network validation. For its initial rollout, the ETF will operate with 0% management fees—a limited-time waiver covering its first three months or up to $1 billion in assets, whichever comes first. After this period, fees will revert to an expense ratio of 0.20%.
Solana enters mainstream investment
Bitwise described Solana as a “key platform for bringing capital markets on-chain,” highlighting its scalability , speed, and growing developer ecosystem. By enabling exposure through a regulated, transparent vehicle, the company aims to bridge traditional finance and blockchain-based capital formation.
The launch of BSOL comes as institutional demand for Solana accelerates, driven by rising transaction volumes, DeFi adoption, and network upgrades. Bitwise’s new product provides a streamlined alternative to direct staking, eliminating the technical barriers typically associated with wallet management or validator selection.
Bitwise has also filed for the Stablecoin & Tokenization ETF, a fund aimed at capturing growth across two of crypto’s most transformative sectors: stable-value assets and real-world asset tokenization.
