Solana News Update: Introduction of Solana ETF Sparks Increased Institutional Investment in Crypto
- Bitwise's BSOL became the first U.S. spot Solana ETF to trade, offering direct SOL exposure with staking rewards and a 0.20% fee waiver for three months. - Seven Solana ETFs including VanEck's VSOL (0.30% fee) await SEC approval, with regulatory delays caused by the government shutdown affecting 21Shares and Grayscale's GSOL conversion. - SOL's $203 price rise and bullish technical patterns suggest potential for $412, aligning with JPMorgan's $3-6B inflow forecasts for a Solana ETF's first year. - Instit

VanEck has also put forward a Solana ETF (VSOL) with a 0.30% fee, one of seven such filings with the SEC, the NerdWallet guide continues. Although VanEck’s ETF does not currently offer a fee waiver, competition among Solana ETFs is intensifying around pricing. Experts point out that the approval of

However, these funds often deviate from SOL’s price due to their leveraged or futures-based nature. Directly holding
The broader impact of Solana ETFs depends on institutional uptake. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted that regulated vehicles could draw record inflows, pointing to the REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF’s $12 million in first-day trading as a possible benchmark, according to the TradingView article. Nevertheless, the mixed results of Ethereum ETFs—up 20% since July 2024 but down as much as 50% at times in 2025—illustrate the inherent risks of crypto-related investments, the NerdWallet guide observed.
