Current Solana Staking APY — June 2026
The current Solana native staking APY is 5.7–7.0% as of June 2026. Liquid staking tokens (LSTs) range from 5.6% (JitoSOL) to 7.0% (bSOL). Stablecoin staking on StakePoint offers 15% APR with no lock period. Rates are updated monthly.
Solana Staking Rates: June 2026 Full Breakdown
Here is your monthly snapshot of Solana staking rates as of mid-June 2026. Whether you are staking native SOL, comparing liquid staking tokens, or looking for higher yields on stablecoins, this update covers current rates across every major platform.
Native SOL Staking
Solana's inflation schedule continues its annual 15% reduction, and the impact is now clearly visible across the board. Native SOL staking currently sits at approximately 5.72% APY on StakingRewards, though validators offering 0% commission and strong MEV sharing still push effective yields toward 7.0%. The staking ratio sits at 67.8% with roughly 393 million SOL staked across the network.
| Method | Current APY | Change from May |
|---|---|---|
| Direct validator staking | 5.7-7.0% | -0.3% |
| Marinade (mSOL) | ~5.9% | -0.1% |
| Jito (JitoSOL) | ~5.6% | -1.8% |
| Blaze (bSOL) | ~7.0% | -0.8% |
| Sanctum INF | ~6.1% | -0.9% |
| JupSOL | ~6.0% | -0.1% |
Solana Compass tracks the current native staking market rate at approximately 5.76%. SOL's price has corrected sharply through June, trading around $69 compared to $140+ earlier in the year, and this downturn has pulled MEV revenue down significantly across the network.
The biggest story this month is JitoSOL. Its 10-epoch median APY on Solana Compass has dropped to approximately 5.62%, down from 7.4% in May. That is a 24% decrease in yield in a single month.
Liquid Staking Token Comparison
The LST landscape shifted meaningfully in June. The broad market downturn reduced on-chain activity, which cut MEV tips across the board. LSTs that rely heavily on MEV capture (particularly JitoSOL) have been hit hardest.
| LST | APY Range | Key Advantage | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| bSOL | ~7.0% | Highest yield, 0% rewards fee, 200+ validators | BlazeStake |
| INF (Sanctum) | ~6.1% | LST-of-LSTs basket, swap fee revenue | Sanctum |
| JupSOL | ~6.0% | Jupiter ecosystem, 0% commission validator | Jupiter |
| mSOL | ~5.9% | SOC 2 certified, algorithmic rebalancer | Marinade |
| JitoSOL | ~5.6% | Largest LST by TVL, deepest DeFi integration | Jito |
bSOL continues to lead on raw yield, largely thanks to its 0% rewards fee structure. BlazeStake passes all staking rewards directly to holders, while JitoSOL charges 4% and Marinade charges 6% on rewards. In a lower-yield environment, that fee gap matters more than ever.
JitoSOL has also seen significant outflows. Total SOL staked in the Jito pool dropped from approximately 14.3 million SOL to 9.7 million SOL, a 32% decrease. Despite the smaller pool, per-token MEV revenue has not recovered because the underlying network activity driving MEV has fallen alongside the price.
Stablecoin Staking Rates
Stablecoin yields remain attractive relative to SOL staking, especially during a downturn when holding stables feels more comfortable. Here is how June 2026 compares:
| Platform | USDC Rate | USDT Rate | Lock Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| StakePoint | 15% APR | 15% APR | None |
| StakePoint JitoSOL Pool | 12% APR | 12% APR | None |
| Kamino (Solana DeFi) | 4-9% | — | None |
| Save / MarginFi | 4-8% | 4-8% | None |
| Binance Flexible | 3% | 5.8% | None |
| Binance 120-day | 8% | 10% | Yes |
| Coinbase | 4.1% | — | None |
| Crypto.com | 8.5% | 8.5% | CRO stake required |
With SOL staking yields compressing and price action bearish, stablecoin yields on StakePoint at 15% APR represent an increasingly attractive risk-adjusted alternative. Depositing $10,000 USDC at 15% APR earns $1,500 per year, roughly 3.5x what Coinbase offers.
On the DeFi side, Kamino USDC supply has ranged from 4% to 9% through 2026 depending on borrow demand. During SOL rallies, leveraged-long borrowing pushes rates higher. In the current downturn, expect the lower end of that range.
What Changed This Month
JitoSOL yield collapse is the headline — JitoSOL APY dropped from approximately 7.4% in May to 5.6% in June, the largest single-month decline in JitoSOL's history. The cause is straightforward: SOL's price correction from the $140 range to around $69 has reduced on-chain activity, which directly cuts the MEV tip revenue that JitoSOL distributes. Combined with 32% outflows from the Jito pool (14.3M SOL down to 9.7M), JitoSOL now yields less than mSOL for the first time in months.
Fee structures matter in a compression — With base yields falling, the gap between low-fee and high-fee LSTs becomes the dominant factor. bSOL's 0% rewards fee versus JitoSOL's 4% and mSOL's 6% explains most of the current spread. In a high-MEV environment, JitoSOL's MEV capture overwhelmed the fee difference. In June's low-activity market, it does not.
bSOL holds the yield lead — BlazeStake's bSOL has compressed from 7.8% to approximately 7.0% but still leads all major LSTs. The BLZE rewards program continues to add on top for active participants through BlazeRewards.
Sanctum INF down but resilient — INF dropped from approximately 7.0% to 6.1%, less than JitoSOL's decline. The basket approach and swap fee revenue from the Infinity pool provide a buffer that single-validator LSTs lack. During volatile markets, more users swap between LSTs, which generates trading fees for INF holders.
SOL staking ratio remains high — Despite the price correction, the staking ratio sits at 67.8% with 393 million SOL staked. Holders are not unstaking, they are riding out the downturn while earning yield. This suggests confidence in the network fundamentals even during a market correction.
StakePoint JitoSOL pool gap widens — The flexible JitoSOL staking pool on StakePoint continues offering 12% fixed APR, now more than double native JitoSOL yield of approximately 5.6%. No lock period required. Stake JitoSOL on StakePoint.
June 2026 Outlook
Expect continued yield compression while SOL trades below $100. MEV revenue is directly correlated with network activity, which follows price action and speculation volume. If SOL recovers, JitoSOL yields will snap back fastest due to MEV sensitivity.
For holders who want yield without betting on a price recovery, bSOL and Sanctum INF offer the best risk-adjusted returns among LSTs. bSOL's 0% fee structure provides a structural advantage that persists regardless of market conditions.
For stablecoin stakers, the current environment is arguably the best time to be earning 15% APR on StakePoint. Stables carry no directional risk, and the yield premium over CeFi alternatives remains substantial.
