Bands.fun launches Creator ETFs on Solana, enabling creators to deploy on-chain portfolios and community-driven investment strategies.
Author: Chirag Sharma
December 22, 2025 – Bands.fun has unveiled a new feature that allows creators to launch their own Creator ETFs directly on the Solana blockchain, marking a major step forward for on-chain, community-led investing. The update enables influencers, analysts, and collectors to package their investment theses into tradeable products, allowing followers to invest alongside them rather than just consuming market opinions.
The launch introduces a new primitive in Web3 finance, where social credibility, transparency, and capital allocation converge. Instead of publishing threads or price targets, creators can now curate real portfolios and put their conviction on-chain.
Bands.fun is a Solana-native platform designed to create programmable, decentralized ETFs without centralized control. Backed by early-stage Web3 supporters, the protocol focuses on composability, transparency and finally creator ownership. Each band operates without a central authority, relying instead on smart contracts to manage assets and rules.
The platform supports advanced features such as private auctions for holders, real-world asset integrations through partners, and detailed portfolio tracking. By merging DeFi mechanics with NFTs and collectibles, Bands.fun bridges financial strategies with cultural capital, enabling creators to monetize expertise while increasing liquidity across the Solana ecosystem.
Creator ETFs represent a shift in how investment ideas are shared and moreover, monetized in Web3. Instead of recommending assets through content alone, creators can now deploy a live portfolio that tracks the assets they believe in. Each Creator ETF, known as a “band,” is represented by a token that reflects proportional ownership of the underlying assets.

These bands can include Solana-based tokens, NFT collections, or hybrid strategies combining digital and real-world assets through integrations. Early launches demonstrate the flexibility of the model, ranging from collectible-backed portfolios to NFT-native strategies. For investors, this structure offers diversification and transparency, while creators gain a direct way to align reputation with performance.
Launching a Creator ETF is designed to be simple and permissionless. Users visit the band creation interface, name their ETF, select the assets to include, and publish it on-chain. Once live, the platform mints a token that represents ownership in the curated portfolio.
Creators can define parameters such as token fees, NFT floor multipliers, and automated actions like auctions or sales. In some cases also proceeds from asset sales are used to burn supply, introducing scarcity mechanics that reward long-term holders. Investors can trade these bands on Solana’s existing marketplaces along with take benefits from low fees and fast settlement.
This structure removes the need for custodians, fund administrators, or manual rebalancing, while keeping all activity visible on-chain.
