Balchunas highlights that the SOL ETF has received $1.5 billion in net inflows without recording any associated capital outflows. This is not typical behavior in a large downturn environment, as seen in the graph.
From July 3rd to October 23rd, 2025. Fund flows increased slowly but steadily, accumulating $410 million.. At the end of October, the pace of entry accelerated significantly as new competitors entered the market.
Half of the capital is raised from institutional investors
The second positive signal lies in the composition of the holder. Balchunas emphasizes: 50% of Solana ETF’s assets under management come from companies that have filed 13F forms File with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
