Solana ETFs have pulled in $369 million so far this month as investors appear to favor yield-bearing products, while Bitcoin and Ether ETFs faced billions in redemptions. Despite steep redemptions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, Solana attracted $369 million of inflows this month as investors increasingly positioned SOL as a yield-generating asset.
