21Shares launched the Jito Staked SOL ETP in Europe on January 29, 2026, offering investors liquid exposure to Solana’s staked token through Euronext Amsterdam and Paris.
The move provides European investors access to Solana yields, impacting its market dynamics, amid falling Solana prices and reduced retail activity.
Introduction
21Shares has launched the Jito Staked SOL ETP on January 29, 2026. Listed on Euronext Amsterdam and Paris, it provides European investors with exposure to JitoSOL, a Solana-derived staking token.
Institutional Investors
Involved entities include 21Shares and the Jito Foundation. The ETP, designed for institutional investors, combines staking rewards and market exposure at a 0.99% expense ratio. Alistair Byas-Perry, VP, Head of EU Investments and Capital Markets at 21Shares, remarked:
“The 21shares JSOL ETP is designed to give investors access to one of the most recognised Solana liquid staked tokens through their existing brokers. JitoSOL is an efficient way to stake SOL, maximising yield while ensuring liquidity for institutional players.” Source
Market Impact
The launch impacts European markets by enhancing institutional involvement in Solana. Alistair Byas-Perry of 21Shares emphasized the efficiency and liquidity benefits it provides to investors. Financial implications include enhanced yield opportunities for investors and a potential rise in institutional interest. However, broad market weakness saw Solana’s price drop by ~2% amid other market activities.
Future Developments
Future developments may hinge on how Solana’s infrastructure supports increasing transactions from firms like Visa and PayPal. Regulatory scrutiny on similar products suggests potential review outcomes. While no immediate regulation changes are effected, experts note the impact such ETPs can have on long-term growth in the crypto ecosystem.
