Solana Staking ETF To See 10X Surge In AUM Says Analyst
The REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF launch on Wednesday was pretty successful, clocking more than $33 million in trading volumes. Eric Balchunas, the senior ETF strategist at Bloomberg, stated that it is impressive considering that it is much higher than an average ETF launch, while beating the likes of XRP futures ETF and SOL futures ETF.
Additionally, the SSK fund saw $12 million in inflows on Day 1, which represents a healthy start for a staking ETF. Balchunas also stated that the assets under management have crossed $1 million, but he expects it to reach $10 million in the coming days. Responding to a query on the X platform, Balchunas wrote: “But based on todays volume prob see few more million -maybe even $10m – come in tomorrow in flows”

Previously, Balchunas raised the approval odds for spot Solana ETFs at 95%, above that of spot XRP ETF. The demand for crypto ETFs has been on the rise, with XRP, SOL, ADA, LTC, being the most in demand.
