A strong first-day haul positions Bitwise’s Solana fund as a test case for US appetite toward staking-based crypto ETFs after new SEC clarity. Investor appetite for staking-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States appears strong, with Bitwise’s new Solana product seeing substantial inflows on its first day of trading. The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), which began trading on Tuesday, has already attracted roughly $222.8 million in assets, according to Bloomberg Intelligence senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. Balchunas characterized the size as significant for a newly launched crypto ETF, indicating increasing institutional engagement and confidence in staking strategies. Read more
Bitcoin investor sentiment slumps to a yearly low, but Bitwise says fear may signal a prime accumulation phase for BTC.

Bitwise’s chief investment officer praised DeFi platforms for their resilience during the weekend fallout, calling the market’s recovery a sign of strength. The crypto market faced its biggest leveraged wipeout in history last weekend, but the turbulence won’t leave a lasting mark, according to Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan. In a Tuesday blog post, Hougan described the sharp drop as “a blip” and not a big deal. He added that crypto “got a passing grade” in its handling of the sell-off. “Many DeFi platforms performed flawlessly: Uniswap, Hyperliquid, Aave and others reported no losses,” he wrote, while noting that Binance and some other exchanges faced issues. “Taken together, crypto did as well or better than traditional markets would have done in the same situation,” he said.

Bitwise’s Matt Hougan said Solana’s speed and finality make it Wall Street’s top choice for stablecoins and tokenization despite Ethereum’s dominance. Chief investment officer of crypto asset management firm Bitwise, Matt Hougan, thinks Solana will be the Wall Street network of choice for stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization. “I think Solana is the new Wall Street,” said Hougan, speaking with Solana Foundation’s Akshay BD on Oct. 2. He added that the Wall Street audiences consider Bitcoin (BTC) “very ephemeral” and “hard to get their heads around.” They can see what is happening in the stablecoin and tokenization space, and they know that it is going to be “enormously significant,” he said before adding, “Really important people are saying that stablecoins will reinvent payments and tokenization will reinvent stock, bond, commodity, and real estate markets.” Read more
Bitwise’s Hunter Horsley says Solana’s shorter unstaking period gives it an advantage over Ethereum in the race for staking ETFs, as US regulators prepare key decisions in October. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley says Solana may gain an edge over Ethereum in the staking exchange-traded fund (ETF) market, pointing to its design as more favorable for investors. Speaking with Cointelegraph editor Andrew Fenton at Token2049 in Singapore, Horsley argued that Solana’s quicker unstaking period gives it an advantage over Ethereum. For instance, Ethereum’s withdrawal queue recently reached new highs, while Solana’s typically clears faster. Horsley said that difference matters for issuers who must be able to return assets to investors quickly. “It’s a huge problem,” Horsley said. “The ETFs need to be able to return assets on a very short time frame. So this is a huge challenge.” Read more
