The momentum behind Solana-based ETFs is accelerating as 21Shares prepares to launch its newest spot Solana ETF today, following its final prospectus filing with the U.S. SEC. With Cboe already approving the fund’s listing and registration, the product is now cleared for trading, making it the sixth spot SOL ETF to debut in the U.S. market. The fund carries a competitive management fee of 0.21%, adding another regulated entry point for institutional exposure to Solana.
A Crowded Field of New SOL ETF Entrants
This development comes on the heels of a flurry of Solana-related ETF launches. Just yesterday, Fidelity introduced its own spot Solana fund, FSOL, on NYSE Arca. The fund charges a 0.25% management fee and includes a 15% fee on staking rewards, instantly making Fidelity the largest asset manager offering a SOL ETF. Canary Capital also entered the arena with its Canary Marinade Solana ETF (SOLC), which stakes 100% of its holdings via Marinade Finance, its exclusive staking partner for the next two years. Meanwhile, VanEck launched its VSOL fund on November 17, opening with $7.32 million in assets and offering zero fees until the fund reaches $1 billion.
21Shares itself recently introduced two crypto index ETFs under the Investment Company Act of 1940, giving investors diversified exposure to assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin. The company’s rapid expansion of crypto products reinforces growing institutional trust in Solana’s long-term fundamentals.
SOL ETF Inflows Hold Strong Despite Market Dip
Interestingly, investor demand for Solana ETFs remains strong even as SOL’s price has weakened. On November 18, Solana ETFs recorded $26.2 million in net inflows, their 15th straight day of positive flow. Bitwise’s BSOL dominated with $23 million in inflows, a sharp contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, which recorded new rounds of outflows.
This consistent demand suggests that institutional investors view Solana as a high-conviction long-term play, even amid short-term volatility. Solana’s token price has dropped over 10% in the past week, yet inflows continue to accelerate, signaling rising confidence in the network’s staking yields, transaction speed, and expanding ecosystem.
A Strengthening Institutional Narrative
With 21Shares expected to go live today, the U.S. market will now host six actively traded Solana spot ETFs, each offering different staking strategies, fee structures, and exposure models. The wave of launches underscores a broader trend: despite price pressure across the crypto market, Solana is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand institutional crypto assets.
