    Here’s Why Americans Are Hesitant to Use Crypto

    July 24, 2025 - By

    First-Ever US Solana Staking ETF Blasts Through $100M 

    July 23, 2025 - By 

    Rex Osprey’s SSK Solana ETF becomes the first-ever SOL ETF to offer staking rewards to the holders, marking a significant milestone. But how did they do it? Well, let’s understand how ETFs are registered. Most ETFs in the US are registered under the Securities Act of 1933. This act does not allow ETF issuers to pay staking rewards.  However, SSK ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
