The Emergence of Solana ETFs in the US Market
Recently, spot Solana ETFs (exchange-traded funds) have made their debut alongside Ethereum funds, marking a significant milestone as the second spot altcoin-linked investment products to gain entry into the US financial landscape in recent years. Notably, these ETFs have made a compelling entry, with impressive capital inflows recorded in their initial trading days, indicating a robust demand for crypto-linked investments.

Spot Solana ETFs Achieve $500 Million in Net Assets Within a Week
According to data provided by SoSoValue, two US-based spot Solana ETFs reported a combined net inflow of $199.21 million during their first week of trading. This substantial inflow demonstrates the growing enthusiasm and demand for cryptocurrency-linked investment instruments in one of the world’s largest financial markets.
The standout performer of the week was Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF, identified by its ticker BSOL, which experienced positive inflows throughout the initial four trading days. Remarkably, on Friday, October 31st, the ETF recorded a net inflow of approximately $44.5 million, culminating in a debut week performance of over $197 million.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas commented on the Bitwise Solana ETF’s outstanding performance, noting its remarkable weekly flows and its position as the 16th highest in overall flows for that week. Such an impressive debut signifies a promising start for the ETF.
While Grayscale’s Solana Trust (GSOL) did not witness any activity on Friday, it concluded the week with a total net inflow of around $2.18 million. It’s important to highlight that Grayscale’s fund was launched a day after Bitwise’s offering, yet both ETFs collectively hold assets exceeding $500 million.
Impact on Solana’s Price and Market Dynamics
Assessing the potential influence of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs on their respective asset prices, it will be intriguing to observe how the Solana ETFs affect SOL’s market value in the coming months. As of now, Solana is priced at approximately $185, representing a decline of over 4% within the past week.
Deceleration in Demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs
In contrast, US-based Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced a challenging week, with investor sentiment appearing to deteriorate. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a significant net outflow exceeding $607 million over the past week.
Conversely, Ethereum ETFs broke their streak of consecutive outflow weeks by achieving a positive weekly inflow of over $114 million. Despite this positive development, it is noteworthy that these crypto-linked investment products concluded the month of October with overall net positive inflows.
