Solana News: SOL & XRP Lose Steam Despite $3.17 Billion Inflow into Crypto Funds

Key Insights:

• In the latest Solana news, SOL inflows are slowing to $93.3 million weekly amid pending ETF launches.
• Crypto market funds record $3.17 billion weekly inflows, pushing YTD total to record $48.7 billion.
• XRP posts $61.6 million in weekly inflows but shows -$50.9 million month-to-date outflows.

Crypto market funds recorded $3.17 billion in weekly inflows according to CoinShares data. This has pushed year-to-date totals to a record $48.7 billion, surpassing 2024’s full-year figure.

Trading volumes hit all-time highs with weekly ETP volumes reaching $53 billion and Friday’s single-day volume at $15.3 billion.

However, the Solana news indicates a declining momentum. For context, altcoins like Solana and XRP inflows slowed to $93.3 million and $61.6 million, respectively.

Solana News: SOL Inflows Decelerate to $93.3M

The Solana news showed that SOL attracted only $93.3 million in weekly inflows. This is a notable deceleration from previous momentum as investors await imminent U.S. spot ETF approvals.

Month-to-date Solana flows total $196.1 million while year-to-date inflows reach $2.67 billion. Total Solana investment product AUM also stands at $4.795 billion.

The subdued weekly figure contrasts with the hype surrounding multiple pending Solana ETF applications, including Bitwise, 21Shares, and VanEck filings.

Market expectations placed approval probability near 100% for 2025 following the SEC’s adoption of generic listing standards for digital asset ETPs on September 17, 2025.

Solana news from early October showed preliminary prospectus filings from Bitwise establishing a competitive 0.20% management fee for its Solana Staking ETF.

Bitwise’s offering promised better tracking and 100% physical backing compared with futures-based alternatives.

The slowing inflows suggest investors may have front-run the ETF launches through existing investment vehicles or direct token purchases.

CoinShares noted that “despite the hype around the upcoming SOL and XRP US ETF launches, inflows have slowed.”

Solana product flows show positive momentum across all timeframes tracked, contrasting with XRP’s mixed monthly performance.

The $93.3 million weekly figure exceeds XRP’s $61.6 million, maintaining Solana’s position as the third-largest digital asset by investment product inflows after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

XRP Posts Mixed Performance Alongside Solana

XRP investment products recorded $61.6 million in weekly inflows while showing negative $50.9 million in month-to-date flows.

Year-to-date XRP inflows total $1.889 billion with $2.941 billion in assets under management. Month-to-date outflows of $50.9 million indicate profit-taking or reallocation following earlier accumulation periods.

XRP ETF applications from multiple issuers, including 21Shares and Bitwise, remain under SEC review with approval timelines extending into 2026.

CoinShares emphasized that inflows have “slowed” for both Solana and XRP despite pending launches.

The $61.6 million weekly figure positions XRP as the sixth-largest asset by weekly inflows, trailing Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and several other tracked cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate Crypto Market Fund Flow

Amid the slowing inflow into Solana and XRP, Bitcoin investment products led weekly inflows with $2.67 billion. This brings BTC’s year-to-date fund flow to $30.212 billion.

The figure remains below 2024’s full-year $41.7 billion. Bitcoin AUM totals $188.694 billion, which is approximately 78% of total digital asset investment product assets.

Friday’s tariff-driven price correction generated record single-day Bitcoin ETP volumes of $10.4 billion while flows registered a minimal $0.39 million.

CoinShares noted that “volumes on Friday’s price correction were the highest on record” for Bitcoin products.

Ethereum attracted $338.3 million in weekly inflows while posting $172 million in Friday outflows, “the largest of any digital asset,” according to CoinShares.

The data suggested “investors saw it as being the most vulnerable in this correction.” Ethereum’s year-to-date inflows total $13.998 billion with $36.456 billion AUM, maintaining second position behind Bitcoin.

iShares products dominated provider flows with $3.263 billion weekly, driving month-to-date totals to $5.337 billion. The BlackRock-sponsored offerings maintain $110.334 billion AUM, which is nearly half of the total digital asset investment product assets.

Grayscale posted $110 million in weekly outflows, continuing the legacy fund’s redemption trend.

Looking at the inflow for Solana, XRP, BTC, ETH, and others on a regional basis, the US-based products attracted $3.012 billion in weekly flows. It represents 95% of global inflows.

Switzerland contributed $132 million, while Germany added $53.5 million.

Sweden posted $22 million in outflows, showing regional divergence in institutional sentiment. U.S. products maintain $169.831 billion AUM or 70% of global digital asset investment vehicle assets.

The $3.17 billion weekly figure pushed 2025 year-to-date inflows to $48.714 billion, surpassing 2024’s record. The milestone occurred during a week of major price volatility from U.S.-China tariff tensions.
