Solana (SOL) and Ripple’s XRP are gaining traction from institutional investors, rotating funds from Bitcoin and Ethereum. Digital asset investment products globally recorded massive demand from investors in a week, with total crypto assets under management reaching a record high of $188 billion.
Investors Favor Solana and XRP
Solana recorded $21.6 million in inflows in a week, as compared to $5.3 million and $2.8 million in the previous two weeks, respectively. This represents an over 307% increase in a week, indicating massive interest from institutional investors globally.
The major factors contributing to a massive rise in buying include the Rex-Osprey Solana Staking ETF (SSK) launch, Solana-based tokenized stocks, and sentiment on spot Solana ETF approval.
In addition, XRP recorded $10.6 million in inflows in a week, as compared to $10.6 million and $2.7 million in earlier weeks, respectively. As reported by The Crypto Times, XRP saw a 292% rise in buying activity week-over-week as Ripple and the US SEC decided to drop appeals in the 2nd Circuit Court.
Crypto asset investment products saw $2.7 billion in inflows last week, bringing H1 totals within striking distance of $17.8 billion last year. Bitcoin recorded $2.2 billion in net inflows, while Ethereum saw $429 million in net inflows.
