Solana continues to defy the skeptics. The two US spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have now logged ten consecutive days of net inflows, signaling strong investor appetite despite recent market pullbacks. Data shows the funds brought in another $6.78 million on Monday alone, pushing their total net inflows since launch past $342 million.
Solana ETF: What’s Behind the 10-Day Inflow Streak?
According to SoSoValue, Bitwise’s BSOL led Monday’s activity with $5.92 million in net inflows, while Grayscale’s GSOL added $854,480. The consistent flow of funds comes even as Solana’s price dipped nearly 2% in the past 24 hours to $164.24. Since the debut of these ETFs on October 28, investors have kept pouring in money almost daily—an impressive trend for a relatively young product in the altcoin ETF space.
Why Are Investors Betting Big on Solana ETFs?
Analysts say Solana ETFs are becoming a “high-beta” play for those already holding Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Nick Ruck from LVRG Research explained that institutional investors view Solana as a diversification tool within crypto portfolios, offering potentially higher returns—albeit with greater volatility. This growing appetite shows confidence in Solana’s maturing ecosystem and its role as a complement to the top two cryptocurrencies.
Surpassing Expectations and Skepticism
When the funds launched, many doubted they would attract meaningful institutional interest. Concerns over Solana’s regulatory clarity and technical history fueled that skepticism. Yet, the performance told a different story. Last Wednesday alone, daily inflows topped $70 million—an amount Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas called a “huge number, good sign.”
What This Means for Solana’s Price and Future
While ETF inflows don’t directly dictate price, they often tighten supply and support long-term stability. Ruck noted that continued inflows could sustain upward pressure on SOL by bringing more institutional capital into the ecosystem. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw modest $1.15 million in inflows on Monday, and Ethereum ETFs saw none, suggesting investors are diversifying beyond the majors.
The Bigger Picture
Solana’s ETF success underscores a shifting narrative in the crypto market. What started as a speculative altcoin has now entered mainstream institutional portfolios. If this momentum holds, Solana could cement its place as the third pillar of crypto investing—right behind Bitcoin and Ethereum.
