How much investment did Solana-based ETFs attract in the United States?
It has been calculated how much money investors put into Solana ($SOL)-based ETFs, which were launched in the United States in October 2025.
Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart reported that, according to information disclosed in quarterly Form 13F filings, $540.4 million was invested in $SOL ETFs from October to December last year.
The top three groups of investors by capital allocation to these derivatives were:
- investment advisers;
- hedge fund managers;
- holding companies.
Largest holders of Solana ETF shares
The main investors in the cryptocurrency-based funds are considered to be major U.S. financial firms, including:
- venture firm Electric Capital Partners — $137.8 million;
- bank Goldman Sachs — $107.4 million;
- investment company Elequin Capital — $87.9 million.
Compared with the fourth quarter of 2025, the Solana cryptocurrency has fallen in price by 26% or more, which makes it clear that investors in $SOL ETFs have incurred losses.
It can be assumed that investors expected the bearish trend to end, since in December the digital asset’s price stabilized above $117. However, this expectation proved incorrect — the downward trend resumed in January, and the price of Solana dropped to $68.
For now, spot Bitcoin ETFs remain the undisputed leaders in terms of both the number of coins and the volume of investments.
Market analysts and executives at BlackRock described their Bitcoin ETF IBIT as the most successful ETF launch in history and one of the most successful exchange-traded products overall.
