Solana Surpasses Bitcoin in Quarterly Growth Rate

The third quarter of 2026 saw U.S. spot crypto ETFs attract a significant $10.2 billion in net new investments, according to SoSoValue.

Bitcoin funds took the largest share, raising $6.3 billion, but Solana funds posted the fastest growth among major fund groups, despite attracting only $480 million.

The difference between dollar amounts and growth rates highlights two distinct perspectives on crypto ETF inflows: one based on total dollars and another rooted in growth rates.

Solana's 42% increase in lifetime inflows far surpasses the 12% growth rate of Bitcoin, with Solana's $480 million added to its smaller base resulting in a much more significant percentage change.
