How JitoSOL enables liquid staking for institutional investors
-

JitoSOL represents SOL deposited into a liquid staking program on the Solana network. Unlike traditional staking, where assets are locked, liquid staking allows tokens to remain transferable while still earning yield.
By holding JitoSOL, investors gain exposure to staking rewards and MEV-related returns without delegating to validators or handling technical operations. Jito said the structure is designed to meet institutional needs for liquidity, transparency, and operational simplicity.
The new European ETP builds on earlier efforts by Jito Labs and asset managers to expand institutional access to liquid staking. JitoSOL currently has a market capitalization of about $1.67 billion, highlighting growing demand for flexible staking infrastructure on Solana.
