Solana’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing robust investor demand. They have recorded a combined $123 million in net inflows so far this week, marking eight consecutive days of positive flows. This surge reflects growing institutional confidence in Solana’s staking yield model and network scalability. This occurs even amidst volatility in broader crypto markets.
Institutional accumulation in Solana has been consistent since the launch of its ETFs in late October. This is confirmed by data from Bitwise and Grayscale. Bitwise’s BSOL fund has consistently led with daily inflows ranging between $7.5 million and $69.5 million. This totals over $325.6 million since its inception.
Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GSOL product, though smaller in scale, has also added modest inflows on most trading days. Both funds feature staking support. It is a key differentiator that allows investors to earn network rewards while maintaining ETF exposure. Additionally, they have competitive expense ratios: 0.20% for BSOL and 0.35% for GSOL.
What’s Driving the Growing Institutional Solana Investment?
The eight-day inflow streak comes amid heightened volatility in Bitcoin and Ethereum markets. Solana’s combination of high throughput, a growing DeFi ecosystem, and attractive staking returns has made it an increasingly appealing option. Especially for institutions looking for alternative Layer-1 exposure.
Furthermore, 71% of hedge funds plan to increase their Bitcoin exposure in 2025, according to an AIMA study. In this context, Solana has joined Bitcoin and Ethereum as the only digital assets currently showing multi-week net inflows. This occurs in regulated U.S. Solana investment vehicles. Analysts view this as evidence of Solana’s emerging status as a mainstream institutional asset.
If current momentum continues, Solana’s ETFs could exceed $400 million in cumulative inflows within their first month of trading. This would be a milestone that would place them among the fastest-growing crypto ETFs of 2025. The combination of staking yield, network adoption, and favorable fund structure positions Solana as a leading altcoin. Especially for institutions seeking enhanced-yield blockchain exposure.
