Market observers remain cautiously hopeful about the ETFs’ long-term effects. Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan pointed to Solana’s potential as a foundation for tokenized assets, noting the platform holds $40 billion in user assets within its applications, according to Yahoo Finance. Still, technical analysts caution that if the price fails to stay above $155, further declines could follow, as mentioned in Cointelegraph analysis.
The launch of these ETFs has also heightened competition among crypto funds. Bitwise’s BSOL ranked 16th worldwide for weekly inflows, surpassing the combined inflows of BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, according to TradingView. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GSOL faces obstacles such as a higher management fee (0.35% compared to BSOL’s 0.2%) and a delayed rollout, which analysts say have affected its performance, as reported by The Block. As the market adapts to these changes, Solana’s ecosystem continues to grow—its stablecoin market cap has surged 200% year-to-date—indicating greater DeFi liquidity and rising institutional involvement, per CoinDesk. Whether the optimism around these ETFs will lead to lasting price appreciation for SOL remains uncertain, but the record-setting inflows mark a significant shift in investor focus toward alternative cryptocurrencies.
