Solana (SOL) has outperformed its rivals, Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR), following the debut of their respective exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Oct. 28, with SOL attracting the lion’s share of investor inflows.
The first US Solana spot ETF—the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL)—recorded $69.45 million in net inflows on its first day, bringing total net assets to $288.92 million, according to data from SoSoValue.
That represents about 0.27% of Solana’s total market capitalization, a strong start that highlights deep institutional interest in the network’s growing staking and DeFi ecosystem.
BSOL also generated $57.91 million in trading volume and attracted more than 351,000 SOL in inflows, underscoring strong early participation from investors seeking exposure to staking yields through a regulated structure. In contrast, Grayscale’s GSOL ETF witnessed zero net flows.
Despite the robust demand, SOL ETF shares closed 3.58% lower at $25.55, mirroring a mild pullback across broader crypto markets.
In stark contrast, the Canary HBAR ETF (HBR) and Canary Litecoin ETF (LTCC)—also listed on Oct. 28—failed to attract any new capital on day one. Both funds recorded zero net inflows or outflows, according to SoSoValue data.
Each represented roughly 0.01% of their token’s market cap, a fraction of Solana’s ETF penetration rate.
The pattern’s apex near $180 serves as short-term support, while a decisive breakout above the 20-day EMA ($196.50) could trigger an upside move toward $218–$257 in November, based on the wedge’s measured targets.
Litecoin, meanwhile, is forming a textbook inverse head and shoulders setup, a reversal structure hinting at bullish continuation.
The token is consolidating above its 20-day EMA ($0.184), signaling early accumulation. A successful breakout above the $0.20–$0.21 resistance zone could send HBAR toward $0.233 in November.
Overall, the setup across all three assets points to a potential short-term rotation into altcoins as market confidence improves.
