Analysis · SOLC · Crypto Assets
The Trust's net assets fell to $1.47 million from $1.93 million at year-end, driven by a 40.75% decline in Solana's price and net redemptions. With the sponsor fee waiver expiring on June 30, the full 0.50% annual fee now applies, which will reduce net returns for remaining shareholders. Staking income provided a partial offset, but the combination of asset depreciation and new fee drag raises the bar for the Trust to recover its NAV.
