Solana Investment Flows Slow, While Bitcoin Dominates – Key Insights from CoinShares

Crypto markets experienced significant inflows in the past week, reaching a record $3.17 billion. This growth pushed year-to-date totals to a remarkable $48.7 billion, surpassing 2024’s full-year figure. However, Solana’s investment flows are showing signs of slowing down, with weekly inflows at just $93.3 million – a notable deceleration from previous activity. 2025’s anticipated US spot ETF approvals for Solana and XRP have been contributing to investor sentiment. While this is expected to be an upward trend for Solana ETFs, investor behavior appears to have pre-empted these launches through existing investment vehicles or direct token purchases. Despite the hype surrounding pending Solana and XRP US ETF launches, inflows have slowed. This is especially notable in comparison to other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are experiencing a more stable inflow of capital.
