SOL's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: SOLUSD on Tradingview Record Solana ETF Inflows Signal Renewed Institutional Confidence Bitwise Asset Management recorded a historic $39.5 million single-day inflow into its Solana ETF , the largest since the product launched. The milestone reflects a clear shift in institutional portfolios toward high-utility blockchain assets, with Solana increasingly emerging as a preferred choice beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The network’s reputation for speed, scalability, and active ecosystem continues to anchor demand, with institutional investors prioritizing blockchains that demonstrate real-world functionality. This surge in ETF interest comes despite broader market volatility. Recent weeks saw nearly $1.94 billion in total outflows across crypto investment products, one of the largest downturns since 2018. Yet, Solana ETF performance shows institutions are not withdrawing from the market entirely, they are reallocating capital toward networks with measurable usage and long-term growth potential. Solana Price Rebounds as Key Supports Hold Firm After dropping to $121.50 on Friday, Solana rebounded sharply to reclaim the $135–$140 range, marking a 14% recovery. Despite a 30% decline over the last month, SOL has shown notable resilience. The asset continues to hold above the crucial $125–$130 support band, a zone analysts describe as the foundation of Solana’s current market structure. Derivatives markets, however, still reflect caution. Negative funding rates and declining open interest indicate traders remain defensive, with sentiment yet to fully align with the positive ETF inflows. Even so, on-chain activity paints a more optimistic picture. Solana leads all major networks in active addresses and daily transactions, with user activity increasing 13% over the past month, even as Ethereum’s activity declined 15%. ETF Strength and On-Chain Utility Shape Solana’s Next Move The junction of strong ETF demand and robust network fundamentals suggests Solana could be positioned for a broader recovery, provided it maintains the $125 support level. Analysts point to $163, $170, and eventually $195–$243 as potential upside targets if buyers continue to absorb selling pressure. Related Reading Bitcoin To $40,000?
