Grayscale excludes staking rewards as it joins SOL ETF filing fray 🐝 ~ ~ Grayscale has entered the Solana ETF market by filing to list its Solana Trust with NYSE Arca. This move includes major players like BlackRock and Fidelity, which have yet to submit filings. A current limitation is that the proposed ETFs exclude staking rewards, a decision influenced by SEC guidelines established during Ether ETF considerations. Solana’s staking yield notably surpasses Ethereum’s, raising concerns for potential investors about losing value from inflation. Though some experts, like Leah Wald, suggest Solana’s broader appeal exists independently of staking, the lack of rewards might deter investors from accepting lower overall returns. @CryptoBuzzPosts 🐝 ~ ~
