A price that does not move is a price nobody traded at, so the difference from Solana describes the days somebody did trade rather than the fund, and ETFIQ publishes it nowhere and ranks it against nothing."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do GSOL or MSOL pay a staking yield?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between GSOL and MSOL?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both hold Solana through a custodian and both trade on an exchange, so what separates them is what each costs a holder over time.
