Bitwise’s Solana Fund Tops $100M as Investor Confidence Grows

Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETP (BSOL) has passed a big milestone with over $100 million in assets under management. This growth comes as more institutions are gaining confidence in Solana, even as the crypto market remains unstable.

Institutional Confidence in Solana Drives Demand

The Bitwise Solana Staking ETP, traded on major European exchanges, has become a popular way for investors to get exposure to Solana. It lets investors benefit from Solana’s price performance while earning daily staking rewards

Each share is fully backed by Solana tokens kept in secure cold storage to ensure safety and transparency. According to Bitwise, BSOL follows the Compass Solana Total Return Monthly Index. This gives investors a regulated and trusted way to join Solana’s network growth

The quick rise in its assets under management shows the growing demand for safe and regulated crypto investment products that offer both returns and security. Experts say Solana’s strong performance comes from more institutions recognizing its technical strengths. Its fast network and active developer community have made it attractive to investors

Solana’s growing role in decentralized finance (DeFi) has also made it a preferred choice for long-term investment. Recent reports show that Solana-related ETPs brought in over $706 million in new investments. This pushed its total assets to more than $5.1 billion, a new record high that beats the one set in July.

DeFi Development Corp Expands Solana Holdings

In a separate development, DeFi Development Corp., a Nasdaq-listed company, has continued to grow its Solana treasury. Like many other crypto-focused companies, the firm has bought large amounts of tokens despite recent market dip

The company recently confirmed the acquisition of 86,307 SOL tokens at an average price of $110.91. This new buy raised its total holdings to 2.19 million tokens worth about $426 million. This follows an earlier purchase of 196,141 tokens at an average price of $202.76

The company plans to stake its new tokens with several validators, including its own Solana nodes, to earn regular rewards. With this expanded position, DeFi Development Corp. now ranks among the largest public holders of SOL. The company is just behind Forward Industries (FORD), which recently announced a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program

DeFi Dev Corp and Solmate Boost Solana’s Global Expansion

Building on its treasury strategy, DeFi Development Corp. recently launched DFDV JP, Japan’s first Solana-focused treasury entity. The goal of the project is to encourage big companies to use Solana and to build the infrastructure needed for long-term institutional growth on the network

At the same time, Solmate, another large investor, announced a $50 million purchase of SOL tokens directly from the Solana Foundation. The deal, made at a 15% discount during the market dip, will help support Solmate’s Solana-based operations in the UAE.
