Solana News Today: Rex Osprey SOL Staking ETF Surpasses $133M in AUM as Institutional Solana Interest Grows

Rex Osprey SOL Staking ETF has surpassed $133 million in assets under management, marking a significant milestone for the fund and reflecting heightened institutional interest in Solana (SOL) as of July 2025 [1]. The surge in adoption aligns with broader market optimism for the blockchain platform, with analysts drawing parallels to past Bitcoin ETF launches that catalyzed price momentum [2]. The fund’s growth underscores a strategic shift toward layer-1 blockchain investments, positioning Solana as a focal point for institutional capital inflows [3].

The ETF’s performance has drawn attention to Solana’s potential price trajectory, with market observers suggesting a possible rise toward $300 per token. A prominent analyst known as "Titan of Crypto" highlighted on social media that breaking above key resistance levels, such as the $220 threshold, could accelerate Solana’s ascent [4]. Such forecasts, however, remain speculative and contingent on market conditions. The ETF’s success has amplified discussions about Solana’s utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain scalability, further solidifying its appeal among institutional investors [5].

The milestone also signals growing confidence in Solana’s ecosystem, driven by the collaborative efforts of Rex Shares/Osprey Funds and the Solana Foundation. The latter’s ongoing development under leaders like Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal has positioned the network as a viable competitor to Ethereum, particularly in high-speed transaction processing [6]. Increased on-chain activity and regulatory clarity are cited as critical factors that could sustain the upward trend, though volatility remains a persistent risk in the crypto market [7].

Historical precedents, such as Bitcoin ETF launches, demonstrate how institutional backing can create short-term price surges. While Solana’s current trajectory mirrors these patterns, long-term success will depend on sustained innovation and market stability. The Rex Osprey ETF’s milestone has already triggered fresh interest from global investors, amplifying Solana’s visibility in the large-cap crypto space [8].
