Solana’s weekly ETF inflows fell 97% while CME funds became less net short

Solana’s US ETF inflows fell about 97% in the week ending Sept. 4, leaving the funds with a small positive balance as Bitcoin’s allocation pace strengthened.

A separate CME positioning report showed leveraged funds becoming less net short SOL. Together, the readings distinguish two sources of market exposure: capital entering ETF products and changes in derivatives positions. Solana’s weaker fund allocation makes that distinction central to assessing whether demand for the asset is broadening.

Solana ETF inflows lagged as the weekly allocation gap widened

The completed Solana ETF week brought net inflows of USD 4.9 million across the six products tracked by Farside Investors, compared with net inflows of USD 142.7 million in the previous five trading sessions. The rounded 97% decline measures the change in weekly net inflows. It does not measure a fall in fund assets, SOL’s price or the number of investors.

The same comparison shows a slowdown for Ethereum funds, while Bitcoin funds attracted more net capital:

All three cohorts finished the latest week positive. Bitcoin’s stronger result therefore supports a narrower conclusion than a wholesale retreat from crypto funds: allocation momentum shifted in its favor within this comparison, while Solana and Ethereum absorbed less new net capital.
