XRP and Solana to Rally on Rising Institutional Interest?
While retail trading remained muted in the broader crypto market, institutional investors are driving XRP and Solana prices upward. Data suggests capital rotation from top crypto assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, into altcoins having existing ETF applications.
As per CoinShares inflows data, August inflows into XRP and Solana funds were $307 million and $388.80 million. Whereas the YTD inflows were $1.39 and $1.24 billion, indicating rising institutional demand in the last few weeks.
Nansen reported that solid institutional buying, bullish sentiment, and major DeFi integrations were major catalysts fueling the Solana ecosystem. In contrast, XRP saw massive growth from financial institutions despite a bearish sentiment from whales.
