❓ FAQ

Why did Solana ETFs perform better than Bitcoin ETFs this week?

Solana ETFs benefited from consistent, smaller inflows and the appeal of staking yields, which provide returns regardless of price movement. Bitcoin ETFs, which do not offer staking, experienced high volatility and sentiment-driven trading that resulted in net inflows of only $6.2 million.

What impact did the Federal Reserve rate hike have on crypto ETFs?

While the Fed's 25 basis point rate hike triggered significant outflows in Bitcoin funds on September 15 and 16, Solana ETFs remained resilient, recording inflows throughout the period.
