Nasdaq files to list VanEck JitoSOL ETF.

According to Cointelegraph, Nasdaq has submitted a rule change proposal seeking approval to list the VanEck JitoSOL ETF. This ETF will hold JitoSOL—a liquid staking token built on Solana—directly.

Brian Smith, Chairman of the Jito Foundation, stated that if approved, staking rewards will not be distributed separately but instead reflected directly in the fund’s net asset value (NAV). As JitoSOL automatically compounds rewards, each token held by the trust represents both the underlying deposited SOL and its accumulated staking yield on the Solana network.
