U.S.-listed spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) broke a two-day outflow streak on Tuesday, securing $8.43 million in net inflows. According to data from SoSoValue, this represents the highest single-day volume for the asset class since January 15, when the funds drew in $8.94 million. The positive momentum suggests that institutional buyers are increasingly viewing recent price dips as an attractive entry point for the layer-1 ecosystem.
The session was heavily dominated by Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), which captured $7.7 million of the total daily inflows. Fidelity’s Solana Fund (FSOL) followed with a modest $732,040, while other major issuers, including Grayscale, VanEck, and 21Shares, reported flat or negligible movement for the day. This influx of capital brings the total assets under management (AUM) for spot Solana ETFs to approximately $700.21 million, representing roughly 1.49% of Solana’s total market capitalization.
While Solana’s inflows were overshadowed by the $166 million that poured into Bitcoin ETFs and the $13.82 million directed toward Ethereum funds on the same day, the asset notably outpaced XRP ETFs, which saw only $3.26 million in new capital. The renewed interest comes at a critical time for Solana, as the SOL price slipped 3.8% over the same 24-hour period to trade near $81.33, according to data from CoinGecko.
Adding to the institutional narrative, recent regulatory filings revealed that Goldman Sachs has established a significant footprint in the Solana ecosystem. The Wall Street giant disclosed holding over $108 million in Solana ETFs, accounting for nearly 15% of the total net assets in the sector. This move aligns with a broader trend of traditional finance firms seeking exposure to high-throughput blockchains despite short-term market volatility.
Market analysts remain divided on Solana’s near-term trajectory. Analysts at Standard Chartered recently adjusted their 2026 price forecast for SOL, lowering it from $310 to $250, citing macroeconomic headwinds. However, the bank remains bullish on the long-term outlook, projecting a potential rise to $2,000 by 2030. “The institutional demand survives for Solana as investors look toward the next cycle of network adoption,” noted a research brief from the bank’s digital asset division.
Despite the ETF inflows, sentiment on prediction platforms like Myriad suggests retail caution, with users assigning a 65.4% probability that Solana’s next major move will be a further drop toward the $40 level. For now, the successful defense of the $80 support zone remains the primary focus for traders as the market digests the influx of institutional dry powder.
