After a historic 20-day green streak, solana ETFs finally saw their first net outflows on November 26, 2025—marking a turning point for these crypto investment products. While the TSOL fund bled $8M, the broader SOL ETF ecosystem remains bullish with $613M in cumulative inflows. Here’s why this dip might just be a speed bump.
The Streak Is Broken: SOL ETFs Record $8M Net Outflows
For the first time since their late-October launch, Solana spot ETFs collectively posted negative flows this week. Data from Farside Investors reveals the TSOL fund took the biggest hit (-$8M), though competitors like BSOL (+$13.3M) and GSOL (+$10.4M) continued attracting capital. "This was inevitable after 20 straight days of inflows," notes BTCC analyst Mark Chen. "Even bitcoin ETFs see profit-taking phases."

Big Picture: SOL ETFs Still Up $613M Net Inflows
Zoom out, and the red day barely dents Solana’s ETF success story. The five U.S.-listed funds now hold over 2.1M SOL collectively—worth roughly $250M at current prices. For context, that’s 40% of ethereum ETFs’ AUM despite SOL products launching weeks later. "The speed of adoption surprises even crypto natives," admits a trader at BTCC, where SOL futures open interest hit record highs this month.
Why This Might Be a Buying Opportunity
History suggests crypto ETF outflows often precede rallies. When Bitcoin funds saw similar pullbacks in 2024, BTC prices jumped 22% within three weeks. Solana’s ecosystem growth—with daily active addresses up 300% year-over-year—could fuel a repeat. "Dips get bought aggressively in this market," says Chen. "Especially with staking yields averaging 5% on these ETFs."
The Meme Factor: Retail Isn’t Done With SOL
Social media metrics tell another story. SOL-related hashtags spiked 170% during the outflow day, suggesting retail traders viewed the dip as a discount. "My Discord group called this the ‘SOL sale’," laughs crypto influencer MayaPeterson. "We’ve seen this movie before with dogecoin and Shiba Inu."
