Solana’s 14-Week Institutional Buying Streak Ends as ETFs Post Record Weekly Outflows

U.S. spot Solana ETFs have suffered their worst weekly outflow since launch, ending a 14-week run of positive institutional flows that had made SOL one of the more resilient digital-asset investment products through recent market volatility. The completed October 5–9 data show approximately $24.8 million in net withdrawals, marking a sharp reversal from the steady accumulation that had defined the category for more than three months. The shift is notable because Solana ETFs had previously continued attracting capital even during Bitcoin and Ethereum selling pressure. That pattern broke this week, suggesting institutional demand for SOL is becoming more sensitive to same broader risk conditions.
