- Solana ETFs attract $476M in inflows despite crypto market slump, led by Bitwise's BSOL with 89% share. - Institutional investors "buy the dip" as SOL price drops 36%, contrasting Bitcoin ETF outflows of $1.1B. - 21Shares and VanEck launch low-fee spot Solana ETFs, expanding institutional adoption amid bearish price trends. - CME's new SOL/XRP spot futures and regulatory clarity signal growing infrastructure for altcoin exposure. - Analysts forecast over 100 crypto ETFs by 2026, with Solana's staking yie

Solana (SOL) is drawing increasing attention from institutional investors via Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), maintaining consistent inflows even as the broader cryptocurrency market faces a downturn. US-listed

Solana

ETFs have accumulated

a total net inflow of $476 million

since their launch on October 28, based on data from SoSoValue.

Bitwise's BSOL ETF

has led the pack, accounting for 89% of all inflows with

$424 million in net capital

during this period. Grayscale’s

GSOL

and Fidelity’s

FSOL

followed, attracting $13 million and $5 million, respectively.

These inflows stand in contrast to

Bitcoin

and

Ethereum

ETFs, which have been seeing capital outflows.

Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows exceeding $1.1 billion

in November, setting them up for their worst monthly performance to date. In contrast, Solana ETFs have enjoyed 20 consecutive days of positive inflows, even as SOL’s price has dropped nearly 36% over the past two months

according to market analysis

. This difference underscores a rising appetite for exposure to alternative coins, especially within Solana’s high-speed blockchain network.

Institutional participation is on the rise, with new players such as 21Shares and VanEck introducing spot Solana ETFs. 21Shares’ fund, which charges a 0.21% fee, became the sixth Solana ETF available in the US, while

VanEck's VSOL is waiving sponsor and staking fees

during its initial launch period. The arrival of Fidelity’s FSOL and an upcoming offering from Franklin Templeton further reflect growing institutional confidence in Solana.

Despite these developments, the overall market trend remains bearish. Solana’s price is still trading below important moving averages, and

futures open interest has dropped to $7.2 billion

from a peak of $17 billion in September. Experts caution that ongoing risk aversion could push

SOL

below $130. Nevertheless,

ETF inflows have surpassed retail buying

, with institutional investors taking advantage of a 30% price correction from $186 to $130.

Regulatory changes are also influencing the sector. CME Group has

unveiled spot-quoted futures for XRP and SOL

, set to begin trading on December 15 to address hedging needs. These new contracts, which reflect real-time spot prices, follow the SEC’s settlement with Ripple and the passage of the GENIUS Act, which clarified the definition of payment assets.

Looking forward, analysts expect a wave of crypto ETF approvals as US government operations return to normal. Bitwise’s Matt Hougan forecasts an “ETF-palooza” in 2026, with

more than 100 new launches

anticipated. Solana’s ecosystem, supported by staking rewards and active developer participation, is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum.
