Announcing The 21Shares JitoSOL ETP

Today, we are proud to announce the launch of the 21Shares Jito Staked SOL ETP, the first European exchange-traded product backed entirely by Solana’s leading liquid staking token, JitoSOL. 

The ETP (ticker: JSOL), provides regulated, exchange-traded access to Solana exposure, as well as capturing both staking and MEV rewards, ultimately bringing a dual source of onchain yield that benefits from overall activity and revenue on Solana into a familiar product wrapper for European investors.

This product launch builds directly on the policy and market-structure work outlined in our earlier announcement on the VanEck JitoSOL ETF filing, extending that progress beyond the United States and into Europe’s regulated markets. 

Additionally, the launch is yet another milestone in the maturation of liquid staking into global financial infrastructure; the growing regulatory clarity around staking-based products; and Solana’s emergence as a production-grade network capable of supporting real economic activity at scale. 

JitoSOL’s Institutional Growth Strategy

For the Jito Foundation, the launch of a fully liquid staked Solana ETP in Europe is a key advance in a broader, multi-region strategy to enhance access to JitoSOL for institutional capital allocators. 

As discussed in Jito’s recent Q4 Tokenholder Update call, regulatory clarity allows products like JSOL to pair decentralized infrastructure with traditional financial rails to responsibly serve institutional allocators, while remaining aligned with the long-term health and growth of the Solana network.

21shares is a trailblazer in offering the European market access to products like JitoSOL.  The ETP provider currently offers over 50 ETPs listed across Europe and approximately $8 billion in assets under management globally, and is an ideal distribution partner for the first liquid staked Solana fund in Europe.

As access to JitoSOL expands across custodians, asset issuers, and exchanges, the focus now turns to structured products such as JitoSOL options, enabling major asset managers to pursue advanced strategies such as the basis trade, using JitoSOL for additional yield. By engaging constructively with regulators and market leaders, we aim to reinforce trust, accountability, and investor protections—while accelerating the adoption of neutral, high-performance infrastructure by the world’s largest asset managers.

Jito will remain at the tip of the spear for institutional adoption – building the technology, partnerships, and policy foundations that bring on-chain finance into the mainstream.
