Solana Attracts Investors: ETFs Attract $369 Million in November, While Bitcoin and Ethereum Face Buyouts

The cryptocurrency scene has seen some interesting changes in the past month. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have faced massive buyouts worth billions of dollars, Solana has seen a significant influx of new investments. Specifically, Solana ETFs attracted a record $369 million in November, which is indicative of changing investor preferences, who are increasingly favoring products that generate stable returns.

Investors and institutions are starting to treat Solana more as an asset that brings regular income, rather than just a speculative opportunity. This trend is supported in particular by attractive native staking rewards, which range between 5% and 7%. These returns allow investors to create more stable positions that traditional Bitcoin or Ether ETFs cannot offer, which currently have limited options.

In contrast to the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that have been losing value, Solana-focused funds have seen significant growth over the same period. Between November 3 and 24, Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $3.7 billion, while Ethereum ETFs lost $1.64 billion. In contrast, Solana ETFs attracted $369 million in new investments, indicating growing interest in yield-generating assets in the cryptocurrency space.

The total value of SOL in circulation currently stands at around 407 million tokens, with the number increasing by more than 50 million since the end of October. The number of retail delegates also increased, from 191,179 to 194,157 between October 30 and November 24. This increase shows that interest in staking remains strong, even as some large players (whales) are more focused on consolidating their positions.

“Cryptocurrency investing is being divided into speculative assets and productive assets after the approval of ETFs,” commented Opryshko of the cryptocurrency platform. He added that staking yield has become a major factor in capital allocation decisions for an increasing portion of the market, despite the current market volatility.

According to Coinbase, around 67% of all SOL in circulation is currently staked, making the cryptocurrency one of the most attractive proof-of-stake assets. Solana has thus established a strong income asset profile that contrasts with traditional income products in the market.

The interest in liquid products is also confirmed by the results of the debut of the Solana ETF, which attracted over $420 million in its first week last month. These funds not only provide easy access to SOL, but also allow investors to benefit from native staking returns, making them an attractive alternative to traditional cryptocurrency ETFs.

Given these trends, it can be assumed that interest in productive assets in the cryptocurrency space will continue to grow, while traditional Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will face greater redemptions. Solana is likely to continue to strengthen its position as a yielding asset, attracting both institutional and retail investors looking for more stable and profitable options in the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies.
