An asset company called VanEck said that European investors can now stake their Solana exchange-traded note
All buyers can stake in VanEck’s Solana (SOL) ETN for the European market, VSOL, which currently manages $73 million in assets. The ETN, based in Liechtenstein, is a digital exchange-traded product that tries to show how much Solana costs.
It copies both the price and the return of the volume-weighted average price of SOL, which is the asset that backs up the ETN 100%.
Asset managers are required by law to keep customer funds separate to protect their clients’ assets. In this case, VanEck doesn’t use its technology to stake customer funds. Instead, it uses third parties to hold physical SOL tokens.
Mathew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, says that custodians give the SOL to validator nodes and keep tokens in cold storage. Every day, stake rewards will be added, and these rewards will be re-invested and added to the product’s end-of-day net asset value. VanEck will handle staking risk to make sure there is daily liquidity.
Not long ago, VanEck started VanEck Ventures, a $30 million fund that invests in early-stage startups in fintech, digital assets, and AI. This is when the company decided to add staking to its services.
Crypto. News recently reported that the fund has already received four donations that have not been made public.
