- Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) surged to $69.5M in debut-day inflows, the highest among 850+ 2025 ETFs. - BSOL's $288.92M AUM (0.01% of Solana's $107.4B cap) outperformed stagnant Litecoin/Hedera ETFs with 7.3% staking yields. - SEC's pre-shutdown rule accelerated approval, but NYSE Arca delayed U.S. listing until October 27 amid Hong Kong's first Solana ETF. - JPMorgan forecasts $3-6B in first-year inflows for staking ETFs as VanEck/Grayscale await approvals and Solana price fluctuates post-EFT lau

The competitive landscape is heating up. VanEck, Grayscale, and 21Shares are all seeking SEC approval for their own Solana ETFs, and 21Shares has also submitted an application for a Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETF, signaling Wall Street’s growing interest in alternative cryptocurrencies. Still, Bitwise’s CIO has remarked that Solana ETFs are “missing part of the puzzle,” indicating that further advancements are needed to fully realize the asset’s potential.
