Solana ETFs Post Record $188 Million Weekly Inflow as SOL Climbs Above $120

- •SOL traded at $121.69 after breaking above the $94.85 level that capped prices through September, with analysts noting that holding above $120 preserves the bullish structure while a drop below $94.85 would undermine it.

Solana exchange-traded funds have recorded their strongest week since the products first became available, pulling in $188.21 million in net inflows across the five trading days from September 21 through September 25, 2026 — the biggest week for the US-listed fund lineup since launch. Net inflows — the difference between the capital investors put into the funds and the money they withdraw — are widely used as a gauge of fresh demand for an asset through brokerage-accessible products.

Every one of the seven Solana ETF offerings contributed to the milestone, with each fund registering net positive flows throughout the period — a breadth that meant the record week did not rest on a single issuer. The final trading day alone saw $86.67 million enter the products, cementing the week as a historic result for the lineup.
Bitwise maintained its dominant position in the competitiveana ETF landscape. The firm's Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) captured $128.46 million during the week, accounting for roughly 68% of all investor capital flowing into the instruments — the largest share going to a staking-designated fund, a structure in which the SOL underlying a fund's shares is staked on the network. Grayscale secured the runner-up position, with its Solana-focused products absorbing $28.06 million over the same timeframe.
Market analyst Lana Valentis characterized the inflow momentum as indicative of a larger trend. She highlighted that Solana ETFs have now delivered 13 consecutive weeks of positive flows, while also observing that stablecoin reserves on the blockchain hit a record $17.3 billion — a figure market watchers often treat as a barometer of liquidity sitting on the network, since stablecoins are fiat-pegged tokens that serve as the primary trading medium in many on-chain markets. Her technical assessment identified SOL as developing a rounding bottom formation on daily timeframes — a chart pattern tracing a gradual, bowl-shaped base — projecting potential price targets of $200, $250, $500 and $1,000.

Technical Picture Strengthens Above Critical Zone
At current levels, SOL is changing hands at $121.69, a modest 0.23% uptick from the previous session. During the day's trading, the asset reached a peak of $124.95. The recent advance followed a decisive breakthrough above the $94.85 threshold, which had limited upside movement throughout September, propelling SOL from sub-$100 territory to its current position above $120.
Chart watchers have identified $73.62 as a significant support zone. Technical strategists suggest that maintaining ground above the $120 mark preserves the ongoing bullish framework, whereas a retreat beneath $94.85 would compromise the positive structure.
TradingView momentum gauges indicate the Relative Strength Index at 68.44, positioned above its moving average of 62.91 and hovering just below the conventional 70 threshold that often signals overbought territory. The MACD indicator, a momentum measure built from the gap between two moving averages, registers at 6.40, surpassing the signal line value of 5.36, with a corresponding histogram reading of 1.04. These metrics collectively suggest ongoing accumulation pressure.
Network Activity Shows Robust Expansion
Solana's decentralized finance sector has experienced notable growth. DeFiLlama tracking shows total value locked — the standard gauge of capital deposited across a network's DeFi protocols — climbing from approximately $4.7 billion at the beginning of August to $6.7 billion by late September. Decentralized exchange volumes, active wallet counts and transaction throughput have all maintained elevated levels throughout September.
CoinGlass derivatives metrics reveal open interest — the total value of outstanding futures positions — approaching $7.5 billion, accompanied by daily trading volume exceeding $12 billion. The simultaneous increase in both open interest and price typically indicates that fresh leveraged positions are being established as the asset appreciates.
Blockchain monitoring service Lookonchain highlighted one particularly aggressive wager. Approximately one month ago, a market participant initiated a 20x leveraged long position comprising 550,087 SOL tokens, valued at $67.88 million at the time. According to Lookonchain's assessment, the position currently carries an unrealized gain exceeding $23 million, with the trader's profit target established at $200: “If $SOL reaches $200, he could make over $65M in profit!”

Market participants are now focused on the $124.95 level, which represents the recent session high. Breaking above this price point would represent a continuation of the established upward trajectory, while a decline below $120 would redirect attention toward the $94.85 support zone.
