REXShares has officially filed a prospectus for two new staking ETFs—one based on Ethereum (ETH) and the other on Solana (SOL)—targeted at U.S. investors. The crypto community is buzzing with speculation that these funds could hit the market as early as June 2025.
ETF analyst James Seyffart shared the news on X, noting that the phrase “immediately upon filing pursuant to paragraph (b)” in the filing suggests a fast-track route. This legal language means the ETFs could become effective without the traditional SEC review delays, allowing them to launch much sooner.
What makes these ETFs unique is their structure. They’re filed under the 1940 Act and set up as C-corporations, allowing them to stake at least 50% of their ETH and SOL holdings. Staking rewards will then be passed on to shareholders—something not offered by most current crypto ETFs.
However, the SEC has expressed concerns, calling the registration forms potentially “improperly filed” and even “misleading.” The uncertainty around the staking start date could leave some investors hesitant.
If approved and launched, these ETFs could mark a major shift in how retail investors gain exposure to crypto staking rewards through traditional markets.
