Solana ETPs in Europe, Compared
Solana ETPs in Europe, Compared #
European investors do not need to wait for a US spot Solana ETF to get regulated SOL exposure — several physically-backed Solana ETPs already trade on European exchanges today. This page is a neutral overview of the main products and the issuers behind them, so you can see how the field compares before checking each one’s official factsheet.
For the wider context, see our flagship Solana ETF & ETP guide and our overview of crypto ETP issuers in Europe.
The main physically-backed Solana ETPs #
| Issuer | Product family | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 21Shares | 21Shares Solana Staking ETP (ASOL) | One of the longest-running European Solana ETPs; physically backed, staking reflected in the structure. |
| VanEck | VanEck Solana ETN | Crypto ETN from an established global asset manager; physically backed. |
| Bitwise | Bitwise Solana ETP | From a crypto-focused manager active across Europe and the US. |
| CoinShares | CoinShares Physical Solana | Part of the CoinShares Physical range from an established European issuer. |
| Grayscale | Grayscale Solana products | Primarily US-listed; a reference point when comparing the global field. |
Tickers, ISINs, listing venues, staking treatment and fees change over time — always confirm against each issuer’s official factsheet and the listing exchange before investing.
How to compare them #
Two Solana ETPs that look similar on the surface can differ in ways that matter for your return and risk:
- Backing & custody — confirm the product is physically backed by SOL and identify the independent custodian.
- Structure — ETN (a debt instrument carrying issuer credit risk) versus a fund wrapper.
- Staking — proof-of-stake assets like Solana can earn staking rewards; some ETPs reflect these in the product and others do not, which changes the return profile.
- Total expense ratio — fees compound, so a small difference adds up over a long hold.
- Listing & access — the exchange, ISIN and ticker, and whether your broker can actually trade it.
We explain the wrapper itself in what is a crypto ETN and ETP vs ETF.
The bottom line #
There is no universally “best” Solana ETP — the right choice depends on whether staking is reflected, the structure you are comfortable with, the fees, and where the product is listed. Compare physically-backed Solana ETPs from established issuers such as 21Shares, VanEck, Bitwise and CoinShares, and verify every detail against the official factsheet before investing.
Not financial advice. Capital at risk. Solana is a highly volatile asset and a Solana ETP can lose value rapidly; you may get back less than you invested.

ISINs, tickers, fees and listing venues can change — confirm against the issuer’s official factsheet and the listing exchange before investing.
