Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell looking over glasses next to Bitcoin and Ethereum coins, with a "RATES UNCHANGED" sign and a falling red market graph.

Solana ETFs recorded $8.4 million in net inflows last week, signaling rising institutional interest in the asset despite broader market uncertainty. Net inflows indicate more capital entered the funds than exited, suggesting steady accumulation from regulated investors rather than speculative retail trading. Analysts note the timing is significant, with SOL still trading near key support levels around $98 — a pattern similar to the early stages of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF adoption cycles. The growing inflows could strengthen the long-term bullish case for Solana.
