What is SOL cryptocurrency?

Use these Q&As about Solana to become your clients’ go-to resource on these topics.

What is Solana?
What is Solana?

The Solana network is a programmable blockchain designed to support decentralized applications and crypto assets at scale. The network’s decentralized computing platform is designed for scalable smart contract execution and high-speed transactions.

What is SOL?

SOL (sometimes "Solana") is the Solana network's native token. SOL can be used as a method to pay for transactions on the Solana network ("on-chain transactions"); as a potential investment; as an aspiring payment method; or for trading on crypto exchanges.

What’s the difference between direct ownership (“spot”) and investing through Fidelity’s spot crypto ETPs?
What’s the difference between direct ownership (“spot”) and investing through Fidelity’s spot crypto ETPs?

Fidelity’s spot crypto ETPs (i.e., FBTC, FETH, FSOL) provide indirect exposure to the price of cryptocurrencies through an investment product available on traditional stock market exchanges. These funds operate like other exchange-traded products, trading during stock market hours with certain fees charged as a contractual expense ratio. Spot crypto ETPs can be bought in brokerage accounts, trusts, and IRAs.

Direct ownership of cryptocurrency (“spot crypto”) means that the investor owns the actual assets and is individually responsible for the secure custody of their crypto via a wallet or third-party custodian. In doing so, the investor may have access to 24/7 trading and can move assets via the blockchain. The fees paid on transactions are defined by the individual exchanges, typically based on the size of the transaction, demand for block space, and the exchange’s fee model. Third-party custodians may also apply a custody fee.

What’s an ETP? Is it different than an ETF?
What’s an ETP? Is it different than an ETF?

All ETFs are part of a broader category called exchange-traded products (ETPs), which are listed on an exchange and can be bought and sold during market hours like a stock. ETFs, the most common type of ETP, are governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are pooled investment opportunities that typically include baskets of stocks, bonds, and other asset groups based on fund objectives. Fidelity’s spot crypto ETPs are similar to ETFs in that they trade on an exchange, however, the funds are ETPs that hold 100% cryptocurrencies and do not invest in securities; therefore, they are not subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

What is staking?
What is staking?

Staking is the process of pledging crypto assets as collateral to become a validator on a blockchain network, receiving rewards in return for contributing to the network’s security. Similar to miners in a proof-of-work network (e.g., Bitcoin), validators on a proof-of-stake network (e.g., Ethereum, Solana) validate and organize new transactions.

Will FSOL stake SOL?
Will FSOL stake SOL?

Yes, FSOL participates in staking activity and expects to receive staking rewards as a result. The rewards generated by staking are reinvested into the ETP to enhance performance. The potential additional income provided by staking is realized by the investor through the NAV price. Staking fees are deducted from the rewards before reinvestment.

What are the risks of staking SOL in an ETP structure?
What are the risks of staking SOL in an ETP structure?

The amount of SOL the Trust may receive as a reward for its staking activity can vary significantly over time. Staking activity comes with a risk of loss of SOL, including in the form of “slashing” penalties which may be assessed by the SOL network if third-party validators contracted by the Trust’s Custodian either validate incorrect transactions or go offline for a prolonged period of time. There is no guarantee the Trust would recover any of its staked assets, or the value thereof, if it is subject to slashing or penalties. In addition, the Solana Network implements “activations” and “exit” buffer periods that may limit when assets may be unstaked and withdrawn. The Sponsor will seek to mitigate this liquidity risk, but this may result in less than all of the Trust’s SOL being staked, which would reduce the potential amount of staking rewards received by the Trust and the value of Shares.
