SOL ETFs attract $801 million amid RWA tokenization boom

Approval of six Solana ETFs by the SEC in October last year proved to be a pivotal role in accelerating Solana’s growth as a platform for institutional finance. The approval directed approximately $765 million into the asset based on on-chain data.

So far, SOL ETFs have attracted a cumulative total of $801.3 million, according to data delivered by SoSoValue. SOL ETFs also account for roughly 1.4% of Solana’s ecosystem token supply. 

The RWA tokenized market has recently gained ecosystem participation due to its fast network speeds, quick settlements, and 24/7 global accessibility.

So far, stablecoins, tokenized private credit, and tokenized U.S. Treasuries are the largest sectors across the RWA tokenized market, with roughly $299.15 billion, a total loan value of $ 36.21 billion, and a total value of $9.5 billion, respectively, commanding around 89% of the total on-chain space for tokenized products.
