The REX-Osprey Solana staking ETF (SSK) surpassed $200 million in cumulative flows for the first time on Sept. 11, amid Solana’s (SOL) strong price action.

Trading under ticker SSK, the fund struggled with adoption during its initial months, recording zero activity on four of six trading days through Aug. 8, according to Farside Investors data.

The pattern reflected broader institutional hesitation toward Solana-focused investment products compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum alternatives.

Analysts attributed the slow start to structural complexity rather than demand deficiencies.

Additionally, the fund operates outside standard SEC-registered spot ETF frameworks, incorporating staking mechanisms and offshore ETF allocations that differentiate it from traditional cryptocurrency products.

At 0.75% annually, SSK’s management fee positions at the higher end of crypto ETF expense ratios compared to major Bitcoin and Ethereum funds charging 0.15% to 0.25%.
