VanEck Upgrades Solana (SOL) Exchange-Traded Note (ETN) With Automated Staking Feature
Oct 22, 2024 at 04:00 pm
Amid bullish predictions for the market’s fifth-largest cryptocurrency, Solana (SOL), asset manager VanEck announced a significant upgrade to its
Asset manager VanEck has announced a major upgrade to its Solana exchange-traded note (ETN) with the addition of an automated staking feature, contributing to SOL's ongoing price recovery.
The Solana ETN, which trades under the ticker VSOL and currently has $73 million in assets under management, will see rewards accrued and reinvested daily under the new staking rules, ultimately aiming to attract more investors and new capital, Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, revealed.
VanEck's press release, meanwhile, outlined how the staking process works for the Solana ETN. Notably, the staking methods are designed to be non-custodial, meaning that the custodian of the ETN’s assets retains full control of the staked SOL, eliminating lending risks that are typically associated with crypto investments.
Moreover, investors in the Solana ETN will not need to take any action to receive staking rewards. These rewards will be accounted for in the coin entitlement of the ETN, ensuring equitable distribution regardless of when the investment was made, minus a 25% staking fee.
The staking rewards will be reflected in the daily end-of-day net asset value (NAV), with a cutoff point at 4 PM CET, allowing investors to benefit from staking without the “complexities” usually involved in managing crypto assets directly.
The firm also instructs its custodian to delegate SOL to a validator node owned and maintained by a staking provider. Importantly, control of the delegated SOL remains with the custodian, ensuring security and stability.
Once the SOL is delegated, the validator node earns various rewards, including inflationary and block rewards, which are accrued continuously. These rewards will be reinvested into the ETN daily, contributing to its overall performance.
The fifth-largest cryptocurrency has seen significant price action over the past month, gaining about 10% and currently trading at $164.50. This recovery follows a major drop to around $109 on Aug. 5, signaling a strong rebound amid a generally bullish market sentiment.
Market expert Carl Runefelt recently highlighted Solana's potential for further gains in a Monday social media post, stating that the token could “go parabolic starting today.”
Runefelt noted a key technical pattern on the SOL/USDT daily chart, identifying a breakout from a “Cup and Handle” formation. This bullish pattern often signals strong upward momentum, and Runefelt projected a potential price target of $370.
Reaching this target would see Solana surpass its all-time high of $259, which was set in November 2021. This bullish outlook comes as other analysts have also expressed broader bullish predictions for the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin, which is also expected to hit new highs in the coming months.
