Staking ETF Assets Hit a New Record

Away from the Solana price move, a Bitwise staking product tied to the network set a fresh record. 

Bitwise's staking ETF for the network, ticker BSOL, took in more than 60 million dollars over two days and reached over 1.2 billion dollars in assets under management, an all-time high, according to a post from Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley on September 22, 2026.

Key points from the update:

• Inflows topped 60 million dollars across the last two trading days.

• Assets under management moved past 1.2 billion dollars for the first time.

• Horsley said inflows were continuing and pointed to strong demand for staked exposure through a regulated ticker familiar to traditional investors.

This crypto news update signals growing institutional appetite for staked exposure through a familiar exchange-listed product, separate from direct token buying on an exchange.

Weekly DEX Trades Surpass the NYSE

Weekly spot decentralized exchange trades on the network passed the New York Stock Exchange for the first time on record, according to a post dated September 22, 2026. 

This metric, known as DEX volume, counts individual onchain token swaps rather than total dollar value traded. 

The comparison, for the week ending September 13, 2026:

• Solana recorded about 208 million spot trades.

• The New York Stock Exchange recorded about 190 million trades.

• The gap between Solana and the Nasdaq narrowed to about 47 million trades, the smallest gap reported so far.

Jupiter, described as the largest trading platform on the network, processed more than 80 million trades this month, up 38% month over month. Weekly spot trade volume on the network has grown 185% compared to lows seen back in July.

Expert Take

Taken together, these Solana News updates point to rising activity on multiple fronts alongside today's gain in value. The staking ETF record reflects regulated, institutional-style demand, while the DEX trade count reflects retail and onchain trading activity through platforms like Jupiter.

Both metrics measure different types of demand, so neither alone fully explains the day's move higher. Together they suggest broader engagement with the network beyond short-term trading swings, spanning both regulated products and onchain activity.

Conclusion

Solana Price today stands at $119.23, up 2%, while Bitwise's staking ETF hit a record 1.2 billion dollars in assets, and weekly DEX trades passed the NYSE for the first time. 

Together, these updates show gains in value, staking demand, and trading activity landing in the same week.
