SOL is the native cryptocurrency of Solana, whose whitepaper first emerged in 2017.

There are over 304 GSOL shares, according to the press release. All crypto trusts of Grayscale are regulated by the Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, trade as securities. U.S.-based investors can buy them directly, along with other securities.
