Spot Solana ETFs Show Sustained Institutional Interest
Spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States reported their 10th consecutive day of daily net inflows on Monday, totaling $6.78 million. This sustained period of positive inflows has brought the cumulative total since their launch to $342.48 million.
Bitwise's BSOL fund led Monday's inflows with $5.92 million, while Grayscale's GSOL attracted $854,480. These two funds have maintained positive flows consistently since BSOL's launch on October 28th, with only two days recording no activity for GSOL.
While the funds initially drew nearly $200 million in their inaugural week, Monday's net inflow of $6.78 million represented the lowest daily figure recorded since their debut. Nevertheless, the ongoing positive flows underscore a persistent interest from both institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to Solana through traditional investment vehicles.
Performance Exceeds Pre-Launch Projections
"The U.S. spot Solana ETF inflow streak significantly outperformed pre-launch expectations that projected less institutional adoption due to Solana's perceived regulatory and technical risks," stated Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research. The actual performance has surpassed analyst predictions for these new investment products.
Despite initial forecasts suggesting that Solana funds might experience minimal success compared to their Bitcoin and Ethereum counterparts, the two Solana funds registered daily inflows exceeding $70 million last Wednesday. Bloomberg Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas lauded this performance, describing it as a "huge number, good sign" for the emerging asset class.
Solana ETFs as a "High-Beta" Complement
Investors are increasingly viewing Solana ETFs as a "high-beta" complement to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This perspective suggests that these funds offer diversified exposure to Solana's ecosystem, appealing to investors who accept greater volatility in exchange for potentially superior risk-adjusted returns within a maturing altcoin cycle.
"Going forward, sustained ETF inflows should provide durable price support for Solana by tightening supply dynamics and attracting institutional capital," Ruck added. The steady accumulation of Solana through ETF purchases effectively reduces the available circulating supply while simultaneously increasing institutional participation in the asset.
Current Market Performance
Solana experienced a decline of 1.85% in the past 24 hours, trading at $164.24, according to market data. This price movement appears to reflect broader market conditions rather than specific ETF developments, with the cryptocurrency maintaining relative stability despite these short-term fluctuations.
