The global asset manager VanEck has filed an S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) to launch the VanEck JitoSOL exchange-traded fund (ETF). According to the filing, this fund will hold only JitoSOL, the liquid staking token issued by Jito Network. The submission marks the first attempt to register a US exchange-traded fund backed by a liquid staking token, potentially exposing investors to Solana’s staking yields through a regulated product.
