Rex-Osprey spot Solana ETF doubles cumulative inflows to $41M on July 8

The primary US-listed spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) acquired $21 million of web inflows on July 8, lifting its working complete to $41.2 million, primarily based on Farside Buyers’ information. 

The one-day addition to the Rex-Osprey’s Solana + Staking ETF (SSK) 104% of the $20.2 million raised over the earlier three buying and selling classes, successfully doubling web inflows.

Falling in need of BTC and ETH

SSK started buying and selling on July 2 with a 0.75% administration price, triple the 0.25% headline cost that BlackRock and Constancy levy on their Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) merchandise. 

Evaluating the primary 4 buying and selling days for every asset class reveals a disconnect between the flows and the market capitalization of the underlying property.

Bitcoin spot ETFs earned about $2.9 billion throughout their first 4 classes in January, which is roughly 0.34% of BTC’s market capitalization on the time. 

Ethereum spot ETFs absorbed nearly $1.2 billion over their opening quartet in late June, or 0.3% of Ether’s market worth as soon as Grayscale’s legacy outflows are stripped out, per the identical dataset. 

Against this, Solana’s $41.2 million equates to roughly 0.05% of SOL’s circulating provide, roughly 16.7% of the penetration stage achieved by the sooner Bitcoin and Ethereum launches.

Price drag and single-issuer construction

One motive for the divergence is the associated fee. Rex-Osprey’s 0.75% levy ranks as the best amongst US spot crypto ETFs, whereas its seed stock of simply $600,000 suggests restricted approved participant warehousing capability. 

Constancy and BlackRock launched their Bitcoin funds with seed baskets exceeding $300 million and fee-waiver schedules that decreased to 0.12% and 0.20% in the course of the first yr.

Moreover, Rex-Osprey stays the only issuer of Solana ETFs, whereas 9 issuers competed in Bitcoin’s debut and eight launched Ethereum merchandise. 

Whereas the small base and better expense ratio depart SSK’s early consumption beneath that of its large-cap counterparts, the fund’s doubling on July 8 reveals an incremental urge for food from allocators undeterred by price.
