Solana-based ETFs have attracted record institutional inflows in 2025, despite a broader crypto market downturn. Bitwise's BSOL and Grayscale's GSOL reported $284 million in net inflows over six months, surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in daily inflows 80% of the time. Key factors include Solana's 7% annual staking yield, regulatory clarity, and high liquidity. The SEC's 2025 clarification on staking legality in proof-of-stake chains like Solana has further boosted adoption. Despite short-term price declines, the Solana ecosystem continues to expand, with over $40 billion in user assets on Solana-based applications.
