Solana ETFs Gain $421 Million While Bitcoin, Ethereum Face Outflows

Solana (SOL) is attracting increased interest from institutional investors, contrasting with significant outflows from Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

  • The US-based spot SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen consistent inflows since their launch on Oct. 31.
  • Bitwise's BSOL ETF grew from a seed investment of $222.9 million to $388.1 million.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Outflows

  • Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows shortly after their launches in January and July 2024.
  • BTC ETFs saw outflows on the third trading day, while ETH ETFs faced major outflows on the second day.
  • Combined net outflow from BTC and ETH investment products reached $3.25 billion over five consecutive trading days.
  • The broader crypto market, facing strong selloffs, has seen its global market cap drop by approximately $700 billion in the last 30 days, currently standing at $3.1 trillion.

If current trends persist, even Solana ETFs might experience outflows amid ongoing market volatility and large-scale selloffs.
