Solana’s big moment on Wall Street came with the launch of Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF ($BSOL), and the numbers from its first week are more than solid.
The ETF officially started trading on October 28, marking the first U.S.-listed fund with 100% direct exposure to spot Solana (SOL). It’s also the first to integrate on-chain staking rewards, giving investors roughly 7% annual yield while maintaining institutional-grade structure and security.
A Milestone for Solana and Bitwise
According to Bitwise, the BSOL fund stakes 100% of its assets through Bitwise Onchain Solutions, powered by Helius Labs. Tahe company temporarily waived all management fees, further attracting early inflows. Bitwise positioned it as a way to bring “capital markets on-chain,” highlighting Solana’s scalability, low fees, and active ecosystem.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has repeatedly described Solana as “a key platform for enabling capital markets to come on-chain,” a phrase he used around the October 2025 launch of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) to highlight Solana’s growing role in institutional adoption.

Solana ETF Inflows Tell the Story
One week later, the market’s response is clear. Horsley shared that $BSOL saw over $30 million in inflows in a single day, with investors buying actual SOL tokens to back the fund’s exposure. Even more impressively, inflows have continued for eight consecutive days, now surpassing $500 million in total since launch.
That makes BSOL one of the strongest-performing crypto ETFs in terms of early adoption, and a powerful signal that institutional interest in Solana is rising fast.
The ETF’s performance reflects more than just investor curiosity. It’s part of a broader trend of mainstream capital entering the Solana ecosystem, following strong on-chain activity, rising developer counts, and an expanding DeFi sector.
By combining staking yield with regulated market access, BSOL gives traditional investors a way to hold SOL without managing private keys or staking manually, and that could unlock a wave of new institutional participation.
In just one week, Bitwise’s BSOL ETF attracted half a billion dollars in inflows, staking rewards of around 7%, and non-stop investor demand. With zero fees (for now) and a fully staked structure, it’s proving that Solana isn’t just a high-speed blockchain — it’s becoming a serious player in global finance.
