Summary
US spot Solana ETFs lost more money than they took in during the week of October 5 to 9, 2026, with net outflows of $24.8 million, according to The Block citing SoSoValue data. TokenPost put the same week at around $25 million; the roughly $200,000 gap is attributed to rounding and different data cut-offs. The result ends a 14-week run of inflows, and no other US crypto ETF category had matched that streak length this year.
Most of the outflow came from a single product. Bitwise's BSOL accounted for roughly $21 million of the total, or about 85 percent of the category's weekly outflow, as counted by Farside. The concentration means a reallocation by one large holder moves the category statistics, which the editorial team argues is typical for a young market with few providers.
Against the size of the Solana market, the outflow is small. Solana's market capitalisation stood at around $64.9 billion on October 10 per CoinGecko, which puts the weekly outflow at about 0.04 percent of that figure. The broader crypto ETF complex saw larger withdrawals in the same week: US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $681.1 million, ending an inflow run of three weeks, and Ether ETFs lost $542.1 million, extending a nine-day outflow streak that began September 29. BlackRock's ETHA accounted for about 88 percent of the Ether weekly outflow according to SoSoValue. Combined, the three categories lost roughly $1.25 billion.
Price action reflected the broader pullback. SOL closed at $110.28 on the evening of October 10, up 1.26 percent on the day but down 7.90 percent over the week, the steepest weekly decline among the three assets. Bitcoin fell 2.18 percent over the week to $82,973 and Ether lost 6.60 percent to $2,506.94. The daily range for Solana on October 10 was $108.56 to $110.63, with the $120 area, last reached on October 6, cited as overhead resistance.
For German investors, the access route matters. The US funds generally cannot be sold to retail clients in Germany because they lack the PRIIP key information document. Alternatives are European exchange-traded crypto ETNs, which are debt securities backed by deposited coins, or direct purchases through a MiCA-licensed exchange. The two routes differ in issuer risk, key management and tax treatment: direct purchases are generally tax-free after one year under section 23 of the German Income Tax Act, while the treatment of ETNs depends on how the product is structured and should be confirmed with a tax adviser.
The editorial assessment is that the outflow signals a reversal in direction rather than a collapse in demand. The loss of a 14-week inflow streak removes one argument for Solana, and the editorial team notes that price support would now need to come from on-chain fundamentals such as fee income, user numbers or stablecoin volume.
