Grayscale Solana Trust Etf (Ticker: Gsol) Launches On Nyse Arca With Staking

STAMFORD, Conn., October 29, 2025 – Grayscale Investments®, the world’s largest digital asset-focused investment platform*, today announced that Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (Ticker: GSOL) has begun trading on NYSE Arca as an ETP, making it the first of Grayscale’s staking products to uplist under the new generic listing standards approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

GSOL, an exchange traded product, is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “40 Act”) and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as 40 Act-registered ETFs and mutual funds. An investment in GSOL involves significant risk, including possible loss of principal. GSOL holds Solana; however, an investment in GSOL is not a direct investment in Solana.

With the launch of GSOL on NYSE Arca, Grayscale is now among the largest Solana ETP managers in the U.S. by AUM. Building on our long history in crypto asset management and leadership across Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, the firm is proud to help investors navigate the market and the broader crypto ecosystem with the trust and safety of a specialty institutional asset manager.

Solana is a high-performance Proof of Stake blockchain recognized for its throughput and cost-efficiency, qualities that have contributed to its continued growth as a blockchain for everyone. Today, first-time users, innovative businesses, and the world’s largest financial institutions are building on the Solana platform. As retail and institutional allocations to digital assets expand, and more advisors recognize digital assets as a core portfolio component, GSOL delivers exchange-listed, low-cost exposure to Solana and its staking rewards through a familiar ETP format supported by an institutional staking program.

GSOL launched in 2021, listed on OTCQX in 2023, and began staking in October 2025. Staking returns are captured in NAV, giving investors the potential to compound over time and we intend to pass on 77% of all staking rewards accrue to GSOL investors on a net basis. As one of the first spot Solana ETPs to enable staking in the U.S., investors will now benefit from the added value accrual derived from participating in the Solana network.

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing in Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (“GSOL” or the “Fund”). 

Staking Risk. When the Fund stakes Solana, Solana is subject to the risks attendant to staking generally. Staking requires that the Fund lock up Solana for the period of time required by the staking protocol, meaning that the Fund cannot sell or transfer the staked Solana, thereby making it illiquid for the period it is being staked. In addition, during the lock-up period, the Fund is subject to the market price volatility of Solana, and it may miss opportunities to sell the staked SOL during opportune times. During the unstaking period, the Fund may miss out on earning opportunities because, in some cases, the staked SOL may not earn rewards during the unstaking period or may only earn rewards during part of the unstaking period. Staked SOL is also subject to security breaches, network downtime or attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, and validator or custodian failure or compromise, which can result in a complete loss of the staked Solana or a loss of any rewards.

The post CME Group to offer 24/7 crypto futures and options in 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group prepares to offer 24/7 coverage for cryptocurrency options and futures, finally mimicking crypto native markets. The proposal will take force after regulatory approval.  CME Group, the leading derivatives marketplace, plans to introduce cryptocurrency futures and options with 24/7 availability in early 2026.  Starting early 2026, trade crypto on your schedule. 🚀 ➡️ https://t.co/x1FLEwVAnl pic.twitter.com/RmCGMLWh4h — CME Group (@CMEGroup) October 2, 2025 The markets will be available at the beginning of 2026, pending regulatory review. Currently, the market operates with a daily settlement, though allowing early trading at settlement prices.  The new drive for round-the-clock trading follows increased demand for crypto services, and the advantage of crypto-native exchanges is undeniable. CME may now tap other regions, offering more active trading with expectations for an ongoing bull market in 2026. CME Group to offer 24/7 access through Globex Crypto markets are usually active based on regional hours, with a spike from the Asian and European markets, followed by US markets.  ‘While not all markets lend themselves to operating 24/7, client demand for around-the-clock cryptocurrency trading has grown as market participants need to manage their risk every day of the week,’ said Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equities, FX and Alternative Products at CME Group.  Cryptocurrency is the ideal market for 24/7 trading.

Ross Ulbricht sets the record straight as Kamala Harris’s critique misses the mark

Ross Ulbricht sets the record straight as Kamala Harris’s critique misses the mark

The post Ross Ulbricht sets the record straight as Kamala Harris’s critique misses the mark appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ross Ulbricht, creator of Silk Road and one of Bitcoin’s earliest public champions, didn’t waste time calling out Kamala Harris after she labeled him “the fentanyl dealer” in her new book, also criticizing President Trump for commuting his sentence. Ulbricht set the record straight: he was never prosecuted for dealing drugs personally, and fentanyl wasn’t part of his charges. Harris’s book claim sparks pushback Ulbricht’s post pulls no punches. His message is clear: Harris’s assertion was factually inaccurate, and the motivation behind it appears political, painting both Ulbricht and President Trump in a negative light. Ulbricht wrote: “The truth has never mattered to you. The goal is just to make me and President Trump look bad at all cost, isn’t it? Don’t be a sore loser, Kamala.” Democrats have long been accused of hostile attitudes toward the crypto industry, ramping up regulatory crackdowns through initiatives like “Chokepoint 2.0.” Harris’s mislabelling of Ulbricht feels like just another example of the Democrats’ broader animosity toward crypto’s disruptive potential. Ross Ulbricht, the architect behind Silk Road For those less familiar with crypto lore, Ross Ulbricht is the architect behind Silk Road, the infamous online marketplace that used Bitcoin for transactions at a time when most people had never even heard of the cryptocurrency. Launched in 2011, Silk Road allowed users to buy and sell a range of goods (some legal, many not) outside the reach of traditional regulation. Ulbricht was arrested in 2013 and ultimately received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. It was a punishment many legal experts, tech leaders, and privacy advocates deemed excessive. His case became a flashpoint in debates about internet freedom, criminal justice reform, and the government’s approach to new technology. In January 2025, President Trump commuted Ulbricht’s sentence, allowing him to walk free after more…
