According to a US SEC filing dated October 9, Grayscale Solana Trust submitted an S-1 form to announce a 0.35% fee for the Solana ETF. The sponsor fee is payable in SOL, with mention of temporarily waiving it. Currently, the asset manager will not intend to do so.

The trust has updated language and risk factors related to staking, while raising concerns on the feature, stating “Validators may suffer losses due to staking, or staking may prove unattractive to validators, which could adversely affect the Solana Network.”

Recently, Grayscale activated staking on Solana Trust, giving investors access to SOL staking through a traditional brokerage account. With pending regulatory approval of GSOL as an ETF by the SEC, it is expected to become one of the first spot Solana ETPs with staking.
