Bitwise Asset Management has launched the Bitwise Solana Staking ETP (BSOL) on Deutsche Börse Xetra, offering institutional-grade exposure to staked Solana (SOL). BSOL delivers optimised returns, transparency, and liquidity while supporting Solana’s blockchain. This marks Bitwise’s third staking ETP this year, highlighting its growing European presence and commitment to innovative digital asset investment solutions.
Bitwise Asset Management, a global leader in cryptocurrency and digital asset investment solutions, has announced the launch of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETP (BSOL). The ETP, designed to provide institutional-grade exposure to Solana’s native cryptocurrency, SOL, is now listed on Deutsche Börse Xetra. This innovative product offers European investors a transparent and high-performance vehicle for participating in Solana staking.
The Bitwise Solana Staking ETP stands apart as a fully backed product that delivers optimised staking returns and enhanced performance. The product is benchmarked against the Compass Solana Total Return Monthly Index (Bloomberg: SOLTRM, Reuters: .SLTRM), providing a transparent framework for evaluating performance.
“Solana is one of the rising star assets in the space, and we’re thrilled to be launching BSOL, the third staking ETP we are launching this year, after the Ethereum and Aptos staking ETPs in February and November respectively,” said Hunter Horsley, CEO and Co-Founder of Bitwise.
By staking SOL through the ETP, investors contribute to securing the Solana blockchain and earn additional rewards, similar to receiving dividends. However, only those who delegate SOL tokens to validators can actively participate in staking.
Solana: A leader in blockchain innovation
Solana, a proof-of-stake blockchain launched in 2020, has rapidly emerged as a top platform for decentralised applications, smart contracts, and NFTs. Known for its monolithic, single-layer architecture, Solana processes up to 65,000 transactions per second, making it one of the fastest blockchains globally. Its speed, scalability, and low costs have positioned Solana as a favourite among retail users and high-throughput applications.
This robust infrastructure has propelled Solana’s native token, SOL, into the top ranks of global cryptocurrencies. With a thriving developer ecosystem and proven stability, Solana is projected to achieve widespread adoption as a “retail chain” by 2025.
Bitwise’s expanding European presence
The launch of BSOL marks Bitwise’s second major product introduction in Europe this year, following its acquisition of the ETC Group in August. The company has been focused on building an institutional-grade crypto ETP platform in Europe, offering a suite of products tailored to meet the demands of investors. Other key offerings include:
- BTCE – Europe’s most liquid physically backed Bitcoin ETP (Ticker: BTCE, ISIN: DE000A27Z304).
- BTC1 – The lowest-cost Bitcoin ETP on the market (0.20% p.a.).
- ET32 – Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP (Ticker: ET32, ISIN: DE000A3G90G9), which debuted earlier this year.
Bitwise’s total client assets surpassed $12 billion in 2024, underscoring its rapid growth in the digital asset space.
