Solana Staking ETF BSOL Debuts on Wall Street as Small-Cap Crypto ETFs Expand Amid U.S. Government Shutdown

This week, Bloomberg reports the launch of several small-cap crypto ETFs on Wall Street, signaling persistent market activity even as the U.S. government shutdown constrains policy-making. Notably, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) began trading on Tuesday, offering full exposure to Solana staking with an estimated 7% yield based on Dune Analytics data. Additional listings target tokens such as Litecoin and Hedera, expanding access for institutional and retail investors. The move shows issuers proceeding with ETF listings amid regulatory flux while risk controls remain a priority.

Under current guidance, the SEC shutdown framework clarifies that certain filings become effective 20 days after submission, a procedural cadence that has allowed ongoing crypto fund listings. Investors should monitor liquidity, custody, and tracking metrics as regulated access to crypto assets broadens and market disclosure standards tighten.
