Bitcoin ETFs Record Strong Inflows as Solana ETF Gains Approval

Investors are putting money back into Bitcoin ETFs, with $446 million flowing in, showing trust in the market is slowly returning.

Ethereum ETFs are losing funds, but Bitcoin remains the favorite as its total ETF value nears a massive $150 billion.

Solana just got its first ETF approved in Hong Kong, a major step that could push more people in Asia to explore crypto investing.

From October 20 to 24, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed renewed investor confidence, recording $446 million in net inflows, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with $324 million

Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs faced a $244 million net outflow, with Fidelity’s FETH seeing the largest withdrawal of $95.25 million. None of the nine Ethereum ETFs posted net inflows during the week. Bitcoin’s total ETF assets now stand at $149.96 billion, with the cryptocurrency trading near $110,615.07.

Bitcoin ETF Strengthens as Market Recovers

Bitcoin ETFs saw alternating stages of distribution and accumulation in 2024 and 2025. The data shows short-term outflows during corrections and significant inflows during bullish times. Investors withdrew around $2.5 billion in a single week in January 2025.

However, the market quickly rebounded as inflows resumed. Consequently, total ETF assets surged from around $30 billion in early 2024 to nearly $150 billion by late 2025. Moreover, Bitcoin’s price followed this upward momentum, displaying strong correlation with total asset growth.

Besides Bitcoin, the broader ETF market is expanding rapidly. There are already 155 pending crypto-based ETF applications covering 35 digital assets in the United States, according to Bloomberg. With 23 filings each, Bitcoin and Solana are in first place, followed by XRP (20) and Ethereum (16).

Approvals were delayed by the U.S. government shutdown, but analysts predict that the process will soon pick up speed. As a result of growing institutional interest in diverse crypto exposure, asset managers are scrambling to develop leveraged and staking-based ETF solutions.

Solana ETF Debuts in Hong Kong

In Asia, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission has officially approved the ChinaAMC Solana ETF, the first Solana-based spot ETF and the third crypto ETF after Bitcoin and Ethereum

The product, listed under code 03460, will trade on October 27 with RMB and USD counters. It carries a 0.99% management fee and uses OSL Exchange as its platform. Additionally, Standard Chartered Hong Kong plans to launch virtual asset ETF trading services in November after a survey found nearly 80% of clients intend to invest in digital assets.

Furthermore, VanEck recently filed for a Lido Staked Ethereum ETF, while Osprey and 21Shares submitted new Solana and INJ ETF applications.
