US Solana Spot ETFs Record $47.9 Million Net Inflows
Strong inflows into newly launched U.S. Solana ETFs defied the broader crypto downturn, with Bitwise’s BSOL outperforming peers through lower fees and a large initial seed investment.
In their launch week, U.S. spot Solana ETFs attracted $421 million in net inflows despite SOL’s 20% price decline from $205 to $165. Bitwise’s BSOL led with $199 million in new funds and began with nearly $223 million in seed capital, charging a 0.20% management fee. Grayscale’s GSOL added $2.2 million in inflows after converting from a closed-end fund, entering the market with $102 million in assets and a 0.35% fee. Analysts at K33 described the debut as a clear success compared to outflows in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. BSOL was the top-performing crypto ETF of the week, surpassing BlackRock’s IBIT. CoinShares data confirmed the inflows were the second strongest weekly total ever for Solana-based exchange-traded products.
