SOL-ETF Inflows Reach $199 Million in Debut Week

The segment currently features two players—the new BSOL from Bitwise and the converted GSOL from Grayscale. The majority of funds ($197 million) were secured by the former product.

The total assets under management for Solana-ETF reached $502 million, absorbing about 0.5% of the issuance.

The average daily trading volume was approximately $60 million.

BSOL’s advantage over GSOL lies in the temporary absence of fees. Both direct coins into staking: Bitwise locks the cryptocurrency in full, while Grayscale does so with 77%.

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted the successful launch of these trading instruments.

“What a week it was for BSOL! Besides the large trading volume, it led all cryptocurrency ETP in weekly inflows with $417 million. Additionally, the fund ranked 16th in overall weekly flows. A great debut,” the expert emphasized.

The Solana price remains unaffected by the success of these derivative products. Over the week, the coin’s value fell by 3.5% to $186.

Meanwhile, ETFs based on LTC and HBAR attracted significantly less attention. Over the week, the Hedera fund received net inflows of $44 million, while the Litecoin-based product saw only $719,000.

Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that Solana could replicate Bitcoin’s success, as it offers similar opportunities.
