VanEck Europe has updated its Solana exchange-traded note (ETN) to offer staking rewards for investors in the European Union.

Following Brazil’s approval of a spot Solana ETF in August, VanEck’s Matthew Sigel suggested a U.S. approval may be on the horizon, especially with the presidential election approaching.
