GalaxyOne launches Solana staking with 6.5% yield, zero fees through 2026
GalaxyOne, Galaxy's yield-focused platform, has launched Solana (SOL) staking for individual users, offering an estimated 6.5% variable yield with zero platform fees through December 2026. This marks the first crypto-yield feature on the platform, expanding from its traditional cash and stock lending offerings. The move allows users to earn staking rewards alongside other assets in a unified portfolio, with Ethereum (ETH) staking coming soon.
As a top-10 Solana validator, Galaxy has previously shared staking rewards with institutions but now includes retail investors. SOL staking demand saw fluctuations in Q1 2026, dipping 3% to 414 million SOL in early March before recovering to January levels of 427.53 million SOL (68% of supply). This recovery coincided with a 20% SOL price surge from $80 to nearly $100. The new feature may further boost staking demand and positively impact SOL's price.
