Fidelity Launches Solana ETF, Intensifying Competition for Crypto Yields
Fidelity's New Crypto Fund: Fidelity has launched the Fidelity Solana Fund (FSOL), its third spot crypto ETF, specifically tied to the Solana blockchain's native token, SOL, which has a market cap of approximately $80 billion.
Cost Structure and Staking: FSOL will initially have a waived expense ratio and staking-reward fees until May 2026, after which it will charge a 0.25% expense ratio and a 15% fee on staking rewards, while planning to stake up to 100% of its holdings.
Competitive Landscape: FSOL enters a competitive market with existing products like the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (GSOL), which offer different fee structures and staking rewards.
Custody and Staking Partnerships: Fidelity will manage and stake assets through partnerships with various custodians, including Anchorage Digital Bank and Coinbase Custody, while retaining some SOL for liquidity and expenses.
