Head to head
In plain words
Over the year to Sep 30, 2026, Solana moved −43.4% and GSOL returned −44.4%. That leaves it not comparable. 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. GSOL closed unchanged on 50 of its 717 trading days. A price that does not move is a price nobody traded at, so its difference against Solana describes the days somebody did trade rather than the fund, and ETFIQ does not rank it against funds that trade every day. Solana is a proof of stake chain, so a fund holding it can stake. GSOL’s own filings say it does (424B3, Aug 7, 2026). Over the window ETFIQ measures it did not finish ahead of Solana’s own price, so whatever it earned did not cover its costs. 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.

Questions people ask about GSOL
- Does GSOL track Solana?
- Over the year to Sep 30, 2026 it returned −44.4% against Solana’s −43.4%, which leaves it not comparable. That difference carries the fee, the custody cost and the market’s pricing of the shares, and ETFIQ computes it from the fund’s own closes and the coin’s own closes over the same two dates.
- Does GSOL stake?
- Solana is a proof of stake chain, so staking is possible. Whether this fund 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 GSOL?
- Grayscale Solana Staking ETF, a spot Solana trust sponsored by Grayscale, listed Apr 27, 2023. It holds the coin through a custodian rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it.

Tracking difference
The fund’s total return minus the coin’s over exactly the same days, in percentage points. The fee, the custody cost, the creation and redemption friction and whatever the market paid for the shares, all of it, in one number.
Spot
The fund holds the coin itself, through a custodian, rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it. Only spot funds are on this desk; the others are measured where they belong.
Sponsor
Who runs the trust. A spot crypto ETF is a 1933 Act trust rather than a registered investment company, so it has a sponsor rather than an adviser, and files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT.
Thinly quoted
A fund whose price sat unchanged on more than one trading day in twenty. Its quoted return is what somebody paid on the days anyone traded, which is not the same thing as what the fund did, so ETFIQ shows it and does not rank it against funds that trade.
Staking
Only proof of stake coins can be staked, so it exists for ether and Solana funds and cannot exist for a bitcoin one. Where a fund stakes, the yield and the sponsor’s share of it are terms in its own filings.
