Following its first-day trading volume of $56 million, the Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) launched by Bitwise quickly demonstrated even stronger performance. On the second day, BSOL's trading volume exceeded $72 million, far surpassing market expectations and making it the most outstanding performer among approximately 850 newly listed ETFs this year. This figure greatly surprised market analysts. Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, explicitly stated that such performance is "astonishing," reflecting high market enthusiasm and strong investment demand for this product.
BSOL attracted capital inflows of $69.5 million on the first day, rapidly bringing its total asset size close to $292 million. This growth rate ranks among the top in similar products. Undoubtedly, this ETF's performance provides cryptocurrency investors with a brand-new investment channel, especially for Solana (SOL), a crypto asset that has garnered significant attention in recent years. As a cryptocurrency based on high-performance blockchain technology, Solana's staking feature allows users to earn certain returns by locking their assets, which is one of the key factors contributing to BSOL ETF's success in attracting investors.
Compared to BSOL's outstanding performance, the trading volumes of other similar crypto asset ETFs appear relatively modest. For example, the second-day trading volumes of the Litecoin ETF (LTCC) and Hedera (HBAR) ETF launched by Canary were approximately $8 million and $1 million, respectively. While they have garnered some market attention, the gap compared to BSOL is significant. Additionally, the Solana Staking ETF (GSOL) issued by Grayscale achieved a second-day trading volume of $4 million, clearly failing to elicit the same enthusiastic market response as Bitwise's BSOL.
In the U.S. market, applications for crypto asset ETPs (Exchange-Traded Products) remain quite active, even though over 150 related products are currently awaiting approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Among them, products related to Solana and Bitcoin are particularly prominent, indicating strong market interest in these two cryptocurrencies. Against this backdrop, the successful listing of BSOL undoubtedly provides a strong signal for the launch of other crypto asset ETFs, proving that cryptocurrency ETFs are increasingly valued by investors.
Overall, Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF BSOL has demonstrated market热度 beyond expectations. This not only reflects the strong recovery of the cryptocurrency market but also further promotes the innovation and development of financial products related to crypto assets. As more such products are launched, investors will have opportunities to participate in the cryptocurrency market in more diversified ways, and the mainstream adoption of crypto assets will gradually advance.
