Bitwise leads Solana spot ETFs with $80M in May inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum bleed capital
While Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs were hemorrhaging capital in May, Solana quietly had its best month in six. US spot Solana ETFs pulled in $115 million in net inflows, with Bitwise’s BSOL fund accounting for roughly $80 million of that total.
Cumulative net inflows into US Solana spot ETFs have now reached approximately $1.13 billion, with Bitwise capturing around 81% of all category flows. Perhaps the most striking detail: May recorded zero outflow days across Solana spot products. Not a single session where more money left than entered.
Bitwise’s BSOL dominance
Bitwise launched BSOL on October 28, 2025, making it the first US spot Solana ETF to hit the market. Seven months later, the fund still commands the lion’s share of inflows in the category.
BSOL includes a built-in staking feature that channels Solana’s average staking rewards of about 7% directly to investors. Bitwise is currently waiving its management fee entirely for the first $1 billion in assets under management.
The rotation story
May’s Solana inflows occurred alongside heavy outflows from both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs.
What this means for investors
The $1.13 billion in cumulative Solana ETF inflows is still modest compared to Bitcoin’s ETF complex, which measures in the tens of billions.
Bitwise’s fee waiver won’t last forever. Once BSOL crosses $1 billion in AUM, management fees kick in. At the current pace of inflows, that threshold isn’t far off.

Indirect Negotiations Between the US and Iran? Iran Makes Concessions? Major Differences Remain? Saudi Arabia Resumes Exports? Overnight Oil Prices Volatile and Falling Amid Mixed Bullish and Bearish Views
On Monday, after WTI peaked at $96.54 and Brent surged to $108.83, both benchmarks retreated by over $5 within a few hours. The resumption of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline constituted the first substantial bearish factor. Meanwhile, US-Iran diplomatic developments escalated: reports claimed Trump was willing to ease sanctions in exchange for nuclear concessions, which he immediately denied in person; Iran was reportedly willing to suspend uranium enrichment, but the US stated that “major differences remain.” Privately, Iran believes the chances of reaching a deal before the US presidential election are slim. Expectations are for potential escalation in conflicts after the election, making it difficult for market risk premiums to dissipate.
