- ARK becomes the first US ETF provider to offer Solana staking exposure through a $5.2M investment in 3iQ’s SOLQ fund.
- Trump Media partners with Crypto.com to launch global crypto ETFs and Truth.Fi SMAs backed by $250M across key markets.
- BTC inflows surged past $1B twice between 2024 and 2025, with strong correlations to rallies above $60K and continued price resilience.
According to Nate Geraci, Bitcoin’s capital flow dynamics are shifting while regulatory tailwinds boost momentum for spot crypto ETFs. Inflows have surged, BTC prices have rallied, and major institutions are increasing their exposure. Paul Atkins’ appointment as SEC Chairman adds further anticipation, especially with his pro-crypto stance and an ETF-heavy agenda.
ARK Invest made headlines by expanding exposure to Solana. Through ARKW and ARKF, ARK added 500,000 shares of 3iQ’s Solana Staking ETF. The $5.2 million investment positions ARK as the first US-listed ETF provider with Solana staking exposure. Besides Solana, ARK continues to hold 3iQ’s Ether Staking ETF, offering diversified staking access.
Meanwhile, SOLQ launched on April 14 via the Toronto Stock Exchange, following regulatory approval by Ontario’s securities commission. Other issuers like Purpose Investments and CI Global Asset Management joined the launch. The product allows direct exposure to Solana’s spot price while earning staking rewards.
Trump Media Expands into Digital Asset ETFs
Trump Media & Technology Group, through its fintech arm Truth.Fi, entered the ETF with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital. The initiative will launch ETFs tracking Bitcoin and Cronos, distributed by Foris Capital US LLC. Charles Schwab will serve as the custodian.
Besides ETFs, TMTG also announced plans for Truth.Fi-branded separately managed accounts. Though details remain limited, the firm has committed up to $250 million. The rollout will span the U.S., Europe, and Asia, pending regulatory approvals.
BTC Capital Flows and Price Trends
Between January 2024 and April 2025, Bitcoin’s price and fund flows showed notable correlations. BTC began 2024 below $30,000 with minimal movement. By March, inflows surged, peaking at $1 billion. Consequently, BTC climbed toward $45,000.
Throughout mid-2024, flows stabilized and BTC consolidated. However, inflows spiked again in November, surpassing $1 billion. Price action followed suit, rallying above $60,000.
From January to February 2025, outflows increased, but BTC held steady above $55,000. March saw increased redemptions and price pressure. Yet, by April, inflows surged again and BTC rebounded.
