How much of what holding the coin gave did a holder of the fund keep?
A percentile among the 28 spot crypto ETPs listed less than a year. It is a position in a set, not a rating, and neither end of it is a recommendation. All crypto ETFs ranked by it · How it is computed
The same coin, two trusts
SOLC and TSOL hold the same asset. Both are 1933 Act trusts holding Solana through a custodian, so neither has a portfolio to compare: the whole of each fund is one line. Over the days each has traded, SOLC finished 2.6 percentage points ahead of Solana and TSOL 4.4% ahead once both returns are compounded, but the two windows are not the same days, so neither figure is set against the other here. That gap is the fee, the custody, the creation and redemption friction and the market’s pricing of the shares, compounded into one figure.

SOLC in plain words
SOLC holds Solana through a custodian and trades on an exchange, so a holder gets the coin’s return inside a brokerage account rather than a wallet. Over the time since it listed to Sep 11, 2026, Solana moved −27.2% and SOLC returned −24.6%. That leaves it 2.6 percentage points ahead. That difference is the fee, the custody cost, the friction of creating and redeeming shares in blocks, and whatever the market paid for the shares rather than for the coin, all of it together. It is the only figure on this page the sponsor does not publish itself. SOLC charges 0.50% a year and still finished 2.6% ahead of Solana, which a fee cannot do on its own. Solana is a proof of stake chain, so a fund holding it can stake. SOLC’s own filings say it does (10-Q, Aug 7, 2026). What the prices show is that it finished 2.6% ahead of Solana’s own price over the same days, against +3.1% for the other 8 funds holding Solana. After a fee, an in-kind ETP ahead of the asset it holds got there by staking. A spot trust is not a registered investment company. It files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT, and its holding is one line: the Solana it custodies.
TSOL in plain words
TSOL holds Solana through a custodian and trades on an exchange, so a holder gets the coin’s return inside a brokerage account rather than a wallet. Over the time since it listed to Sep 11, 2026, Solana moved −25.2% and TSOL returned −21.9%. That leaves it 4.4% ahead once both returns are compounded. Over a window this long the two returns cannot simply be subtracted. Doing it would read +3.3 pts, which is arithmetically correct and describes nothing a holder can act on: what the figure above states is the gap between the two growth factors, so a fund that kept 104% of what holding the coin gave says exactly that. TSOL charges 0.21% a year and still finished 4.4% ahead of Solana, which a fee cannot do on its own. TSOL’s own filings say it does (424B3, Aug 13, 2026). What the prices show is that it finished 4.4% ahead of Solana’s own price over the same days, against +2.9% for the other 8 funds holding Solana.
Questions people ask
- Which tracked Solana more closely, SOLC or TSOL?
- Over the days each has traded, SOLC finished 2.6 percentage points ahead of Solana and TSOL 4.4% ahead once both returns are compounded. Those are not set against each other here, because the two windows are not the same days, so neither is nearer its coin than the other on this page. Each difference carries the fee, the custody cost, the friction of creating and redeeming shares in blocks and whatever the market paid for the shares rather than for the coin.
- Do SOLC or TSOL pay a staking yield?
- Solana is a proof of stake chain, so staking is possible. Whether either trust stakes, and what the sponsor keeps of it, is a term in its own filings and is read from those rather than assumed.
- What is the difference between SOLC and TSOL?
- Both hold Solana through a custodian and both trade on an exchange, so what separates them is what each costs a holder over time. SOLC is sponsored by Canary and listed Nov 18, 2025; TSOL by 21Shares, listed Nov 19, 2025.
- Which is cheaper, SOLC or TSOL?
- SOLC charges 0.50% a year and TSOL charges 0.21%, so TSOL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
