Solana ETF records $80M inflow in single day, driven by staking yield
In brief
- Solana ETFs recorded $80M–$87M net inflows on September 25, exceeding prior single-day record by 2.4x.
- Bitwise's staking-enabled BSOL ETF captured ~$55.7M, roughly two-thirds of total flows since October 2025 launch.
- Weekly inflows reached $181M, signaling sustained institutional buying pressure in newly launched category.
Record Inflow Driven by Staking Appeal
Bitwise's staking-enabled BSOL ETF attracted roughly $55.7M of the day's inflows, capturing about two-thirds of the total. Grayscale's GSOL added about $18.5M. The concentration in BSOL is striking: since the funds launched on October 28, 2025, BSOL has captured approximately 80% of cumulative inflows, translating to around $1.22B of the category's $1.6B total.
The appeal is straightforward. Staking-enabled ETFs generate yield by staking underlying tokens on the Solana network, providing returns on top of price appreciation—a feature Bitcoin ETFs structurally cannot offer. For institutional investors evaluating allocation strategies, that yield differential matters.
Sustained Momentum, Not One-Off Event
Weekly inflows reached $181M, suggesting this wasn't a single spike but the peak of a sustained multi-week buying trend. Cumulative net inflows across all US spot Solana ETFs have crossed $1.6B, with total assets under management sitting between $1.8B and $1.96B. For a product category that didn't exist a year ago, the trajectory is notable.
SOL was trading near $120 during the record inflow period. The record represents roughly a 2.4x jump from the previous daily high, signaling both retail and institutional conviction in the asset class.
