SOL & XRP Futures ETFs Surge to $1B Inflows, Spot ETFs on the Horizon?

Futures-based SOL ETFs and XRP ETFs have collectively drawn over $1 billion in capital since their U.S. launch five months ago. According to ETF expert Nate Geraci, both products attracted modest inflows until July, when each fund saw roughly $350 million. This milestone includes REX-Osprey’s Solana staking ETF with $150 million in assets under management. The strong performance underscores growing demand for spot ETFs. A wave of applications for spot SOL and XRP ETFs is now pending approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Although BlackRock has no immediate plans to file, market observers believe the world’s largest asset manager could join the race, further boosting trading activity and market confidence around SOL and XRP.
Bullish
The $1 billion inflow milestone for SOL ETFs and XRP ETFs signals robust investor interest in crypto-linked exchange-traded funds. Historically, futures-based ETF success has paved the way for spot ETF launches—seen previously with Bitcoin futures and spot ETFs driving increased liquidity and price appreciation. Pending SEC approvals and potential BlackRock involvement add to bullish momentum. In the short term, heightened fund flows may lift SOL and XRP prices. Over the long term, the shift toward spot SOL and XRP ETFs could broaden institutional adoption, deepen market liquidity, and reinforce bullish market structure for these tokens.
