Grayscale Solana Trust Amendment Would Add Quarterly Staking Reward Payouts
Grayscale has filed a new Form 8-K tied to its Solana product, outlining a trust agreement amendment that would allow net staking rewards to be distributed to shareholders at least quarterly.
The filing relates to Grayscale Solana Staking ETF, or GSOL, and was filed with the SEC on July 17. The amendment is expected to become effective on August 7, 2026.
The key point is that this is not a spot Solana ETF approval story.

- The amendment would allow net staking rewards to be paid to shareholders at least quarterly.
