Solana spot ETFs launched in late 2025 have attracted nearly $1 billion in assets under management with consistent inflows, signaling strong institutional demand for altcoin exposure beyond Bitcoin. Debuting on October 28, 2025, these products saw $200 million in net inflows within three days and weekly trading volumes over $250 million.
Inflow Performance
Bitwise's BSOL ETF leads with over $444-540 million in inflows, followed by Fidelity's FSOL at $9.84 million and Grayscale's GSOL near $80 million, pushing total AUM past $745-940 million. Despite occasional outflows like a $32 million record, 19 straight inflow days defied market crashes, contrasting Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF outflows.
Institutional Appeal
Institutions favor Solana for 7% staking yields, low fees (0.000005 SOL per transaction), and high throughput (70 million daily transactions vs. Ethereum's 1.2 million). Regulatory streamlining cut SEC approvals to 75 days, boosting altcoin ETFs amid $321 million on-chain inflows, including $240 million from Ethereum.
Broader Market Shift
This success reflects a maturing altcoin strategy, with Solana ETFs exceeding $2 billion in some combined flows and resilient even in downturns, positioning SOL as a top institutional pick outside BTC/ETH. Binance Square posts highlight similar trends, noting strong SOL ETF launches amid volatility as diversification signals.
