Solana​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ ETFs Defy Market Trends with 7-Day Inflow Streak

• Solana ETFs have recorded a 7-day inflow streak, with a total net inflow of $674 million, despite SOL’s price dropping by 55% since January.
• Institutional interest in Solana is on the rise, with the launch of Bitwise’s BSOL ETF in October, which was one of the hottest ETF launches of 2025.
• The regulatory environment for Solana appears bright, with SEC Chair Paul Atkins stating that US financial markets are poised to move on-chain, indicating potential for further growth and adoption.

Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have managed to pull off a seven-day continuous inflow streak, going against the grain of the SOL price negative trend and that of the overall crypto market. This moment is a turning point for Solana ETFs, which first appeared in the US market with the launch of REX-Osprey’s staked SOL ETF in July. The series of inflows is a clear indication of the ramping up of interest in Solana from the institutional and traditional financial sectors.

Institutional Interest Rise

The ETF inflows serve as a loud wake-up call for the institutional and traditional finance investors about SOL. This is so even when the price has been on a downward spiral, along with on-chain metrics like total value locked. One of the manifestations of such an interest is the setting up of a mid-cap value ETF, Bitwise’s BSOL, reflecting Solana, the most rocket-like performer of 2025 according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart.

The inflows in SOL-related ETFs have now gotten to a $674 million total net inflow ballpark, based on the numbers coming from Farside Investors. The market cap of Solana has been dwindling for over 2% during the last week, based on data from crypto market analytics platform Nansen.

Moreover, the open interest for SOL perpetual futures has climbed to more than $447 million, revealing that there is a robust demand for the token. Unfortunately, SOL’s price has dropped by almost 55% since its peak of about $295 in January, and that has been largely the case as Trump memecoin launched on the SOL network, causing a subsequent price fall.

Regulatory Environment

With the debut of SOL ETFs in the US and the keen interest of crypto industry executives and regulators in internet capital markets, the regulatory outlook for Solana appears quite bright. SEC Chair Paul Atkins observed, “US financial markets are on the verge of going on-chain”. The key takeaway from that sentence is that there is ample room for further expansion and integration of SOL and other digital assets into the US market.

Conclusion

The seven-day inflow streak of the Solana ETFs has been an eye-opening moment for the crypto space in general. Despite the price and on-chain metrics performing the opposite way, it unmistakably shows that institutional and traditional finance investors are warming up to Solana.

One of the major factors driving such a regulatory climate favourable to Solana is the presence of SOL ETFs in the United States, as well as crypto industry executives and US regulators who are quite upbeat about the Internet capital markets. While markets constantly transform, it would be intriguing to know how SOL and other digital currencies might fare going ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌forward.
