Bitwise's Solana ETF Dominates 2025 Debuts with Record Trading Volume

Bitwise Asset Management's Solana-focused ETF, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (NYSE Arca: BSOL), has made a remarkable entrance into 2025, achieving the highest trading volume for any ETF launch this year. Investor enthusiasm surged as trading activity on its second day surpassed the first, indicating strong momentum from both institutional and retail investors.

BSOL’s $56m is the MOST of any launch this year,
said Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas on social media. He noted that BSOL's first-day trading volume exceeded that of other notable ETFs such as the REX-Osprey XRP ETF and the Dan Ives Wedbush AI Revolution ETF. The Solana Foundation's Solana X account also highlighted that the Bitwise Solana ETF was "#1 in trading volume across all ~850 ETF debuts in 2025," setting a record on the New York Stock Exchange.

On its second day of trading, BSOL recorded $72 million in trading volume and holds $282 million in assets under management. The ETF aims to stake 100% of its assets and has temporarily waived its 0.20% management fee for the first three months on the first $1 billion in assets. All staking rewards will be passed through to investors without a fee during this period.

BSOL did more volume on Day Two. $72m is a huge number. Good sign,
Balchunas noted. Teddy Fusaro, president of Bitwise, emphasized the fund's significance by stating that the Solana ETF had the highest volume launch for 2025, surpassing even the bitcoin ETF launched in 2024.
We built BSOL to be a high-quality product for investors: a low fee of 0.20% (waived to 0% for now) and 100% of SOL staked with technology from Helius,
said Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley.

Coinbase Institutional serves as the exclusive custodian for BSOL through Coinbase Prime, ensuring secure and compliant asset management. Analysts believe that Solana's strong staking economics and the ETF's transparent structure could continue to attract institutional inflows throughout 2025.
