US spot Solana ETFs take record $188 million week, then inflows fall to $800,000
US spot Solana ETFs took a record $188 million over the five sessions through Sept. 25, then just $800,000 the following week.
Why it matters
Roughly two thirds of the record week's money went into a single fund, Bitwise's BSOL, so the inflow was concentrated as well as large. A follow-up week of $800,000 leaves open whether US demand for Solana exposure continues or the record week was a one-off, and neither outlet gives a reason for the slowdown. No outlet links the drop to Alpenglow timing or to any regulatory decision.
