New SOL ETFs continue attracting capital as investor interest holds strong
The latest Solana exchange-traded fund from 21Shares has made a strong entrance into the U.S. market, launching with over $100 million in assets under management at a time when broader crypto markets are under intense pressure. The debut highlights continued institutional interest in Solana even as prices slide.
Fresh capital flows into Solana products
The new ETF, trading under the ticker TSOL, marks the fifth U.S. exchange-traded product offering direct exposure to SOL. The fund holds spot Solana and will stake its tokens to support the network and earn rewards, adding an additional yield component for investors.
“TSOL is opening with $100 million AUM, and Solana ETFs as a group have already taken in $2 billion,” said senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
“These inflows are continuing daily, which is impressive considering the current environment of extreme fear.”
Institutional interest grows despite market crash
TSOL’s debut follows the launch of VanEck’s SOL ETF earlier this week, which also incorporates staking. Analysts say momentum is building around altcoin investment vehicles and could accelerate meaningfully over the coming year.
“2026 could be a landmark year for altcoin ETFs, potentially bringing more than 100 new products to market,” said a prominent digital-asset investment executive.
“The expansion of these vehicles opens new pathways for traditional capital to enter the sector.”
SOL price drops but ETF inflows remain strong
Despite the positive ETF activity, SOL has fallen roughly 14% over the past week, dragged down by a broader market correction.
The decline shows that ETF inflows can support long-term demand but do not fully shield an asset from macro-driven sell-offs.
Bitwise’s Solana ETF, launched in October, has already accumulated nearly $500 million in net inflows, placing it among the most successful ETF launches of the year.
Forecasts from major financial institutions indicate further interest ahead. Analysts at one global bank project that SOL ETFs could attract billions of dollars, outperforming early inflows typically seen in newly launched digital-asset funds.
Some analysts believe SOL and XRP ETF performance could surpass that of Ether-linked products during their first six months on the U.S. market.
