SOLANA STAKING ETFs 😱
BREAKING: Bitwise 'not playing around,' sets 0.20% fee for its Solana staking ETF

The Solana staking ETFs are almost here…
In a new amendment to its registration statement, Bitwise revealed its upcoming Solana Staking ETF will only charge a 0.20% fee.
That’s one of the lowest fees for a crypto ETF.
Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas summed it up best:
“Bitwise not playing around… plans to charge just 0.20% for their spot Solana ETF. Thought we’d see higher first — need war to get this low. Low fees have near-perfect record of attracting investors, so good sign for inflow potential.”
At that rate, Bitwise isn’t chasing the market - it’s forcing everyone else to catch up.
It’s the same fee range Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs launched with after SEC approval last year - and with staking rewards added on top, Bitwise just threw down the gauntlet.
They’re not alone either.
21Shares announced it’s enhancing its Ethereum ETF with staking - and waiving its sponsor fee for the first year - calling it the “natural evolution” of U.S. crypto products.
The crypto ETF arms race is heating up…
And the timing? Perfect.
As Nate Geraci pointed out, spot Bitcoin ETFs are on an all-time heater:
“They’ve taken in an absurd $5.3 billion over the past seven trading days… $2 billion just over the past two.”
But here’s the twist - most of Wall Street still hasn’t even shown up.
“Six of the top eight ETF issuers still have no spot crypto ETF presence… Vanguard, State Street, Schwab, JPMorgan, Dimensional, and First Trust… Wild how top issuers basically ceded the category to BlackRock.”
And BlackRock?
Its IBIT Bitcoin ETF is now the firm’s highest revenue-generating fund - yet Geraci says they should “go for the jugular” and launch XRP and Solana next.
The U.S. government shutdown may have paused approvals, but when the lights come back on, this race won’t restart quietly.
It’ll explode. 🚀

THE ONLY 2 CHARTS THAT MATTER 🧠
Every day, we’re digging through data, charts, and expert analysis to bring you the distilled truth - the signals that actually matter.

But if you had to boil everything happening in crypto right now down to just 2 charts, these would be them:

We’ve said it again and again:
Global money supply leads Bitcoin — and by proxy, the entire crypto market.
Gold leads Bitcoin.
When you graph them, the correlations are impossible to ignore.
The first chart shows Global M2 vs Bitcoin (102-day lag) - liquidity turns first, Bitcoin follows.
The second shows Gold vs Bitcoin (200-day lag) - gold rallies, then Bitcoin explodes.
Right now?
Global M2 just went vertical.
Gold just hit new all-time highs.
That’s all you really need to know about where we are in the cycle.
Gold leads.
Bitcoin follows. 🦬

HISTORIC LOWS 📉
Today we’ll be checking in on the amount of Ethereum available for sale on exchanges.
Here’s how to interpret this metric:
Decreasing exchange balances: Bullish indicator as it signals a shift towards long-term holding 🐂
Increasing exchange balances: Bearish indicator as coins being transferred to exchanges are more likely to be sold 🐻

Only 14.34 million ETH remain on exchanges - just 11.83% of the total supply.
Since the start of the year, 4.59 million ETH (worth nearly $20.8 billion) has vanished from exchange wallets.
Let that sink in…
The last time Ethereum’s liquid supply was this low… it rocketed from $30 to $1,500. 🤯
This is what a supply shock looks like before it happens.
ETH is being drained from exchanges. Institutions are accumulating. Demand is quietly building.
And when vanishing supply meets rising demand, there’s only one direction left for price to go - up. 🚀
