- •SOL ETFs may attract $1.5B in their first year.
- •Demand expected to be lower than ETH ETF inflows.
- •JPMorgan warns of possible investor fatigue.
As excitement builds around the future of crypto ETFs, JPMorgan has issued a cautious forecast for Solana-based ETFs. According to the investment bank, SOL ETFs could see inflows of around $1.5 billion in their first year—roughly one-seventh of the amount predicted for Ethereum ETFs.
Weaker Demand and Investor Fatigue Behind Lower Expectations
JPMorgan analysts pointed to weaker investor demand for Solana compared to Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. They also highlighted a growing trend of investor fatigue in the digital asset space, particularly as new crypto investment products continue to launch at a rapid pace.
This cautious stance reflects the bank’s belief that while SOL ETFs will attract institutional and retail interest, the momentum won’t match the levels seen with BTC and ETH ETFs.
Still a Positive Signal for Solana Adoption
Despite the lower inflow expectations, a $1.5 billion projection is still a significant milestone for Solana. The potential approval and launch of a SOL ETF would mark another step toward mainstream adoption, giving more traditional investors exposure to the token through regulated financial instruments.
Moreover, it could help solidify Solana’s role as a leading layer-1 blockchain, especially as developers and DeFi users continue to build on the network.
While the figure may seem modest compared to Ethereum, it signals growing confidence in Solana’s future—just tempered by current market conditions and sentiment.
