The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, BSOL, attracted $2,808,750 in new capital on January 16, 2026, a modest but notable inflow that represents roughly 0.35% of its latest reported assets under management of $804.3 million. While the flow is small relative to the fund’s size, it signals continued investor interest in Solana exposure via a regulated, yield-focused wrapper even as the underlying token remains under pressure.
The related asset, SOL-USD, is currently trading around $127.66, having shed about 31.2% over the past three months as broader risk sentiment in crypto cooled and speculative activity rotated elsewhere. Short-term technicals remain cautious, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell, underscoring lingering downside risk in the spot market despite the latest inflows into BSOL.
The juxtaposition of negative price momentum in Solana and fresh money flowing into Bitwise’s staking ETF suggests that some investors may be leaning into the weakness, using BSOL as a vehicle to accumulate exposure while capturing staking yields. Others may be repositioning from direct token holdings into an ETF format that offers traditional-market accessibility and potential operational convenience. With flows still a small fraction of overall AUM, the move does not yet signal a decisive turn in sentiment, but it highlights a base of investors willing to underwrite Solana’s longer-term narrative through the current drawdown.
