Solana Experiences Surge: Altcoin’s $26 Million Inflows Outpace Ether, Indicating Strong Investor Interest
Solana, the prominent altcoin, is demonstrating its strength as the cryptocurrency market experiences instability. Investment products associated with Solana have seen a remarkable increase, attracting $26 million in inflows this year, surpassing even Ethereum, and earning it the designation of the ‘most favored altcoin’ according to CoinShares.
Solana’s Inflows Stand Out Amid Crypto Market Variability
A recent report on Digital Asset Fund Flows by CoinShares highlighted Solana’s impressive rise within the cryptocurrency investment sector. The altcoin’s investment products have amassed $26 million in inflows since the beginning of 2023, eclipsing other rivals, including Ethereum, which has a valuation of $1,622. This trend establishes Solana as a clear preference among investors, as noted by CoinShares’ analysis.
Strong Performance Amid Market Fluctuations
The report, written by James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, revealed that trading volumes for cryptocurrency investment products surged to 90% above the average for the year-to-date during the week ending September 1. Importantly, outflows from crypto products decreased to $11.2 million, reflecting seven weeks of negative sentiment, culminating in an outflow of $342 million.
In contrast, Solana has defied this trend. The altcoin has maintained weekly inflows of $700,000 for nine consecutive weeks, totaling $14.1 million. Additionally, Solana’s year-to-date inflows reach $26 million, emphasizing its resilience and appeal to investors.

The rising inflows for Solana coincide with a series of positive advancements within its ecosystem. Notably, Rune Christensen, co-founder of MakerDAO, proposed to base the project’s forthcoming native chain on a fork of Solana’s codebase. This decision, despite MakerDAO’s historical connections to Ethereum, underscores Solana’s attractiveness.
Moreover, Shopify’s incorporation of Solana Pay into its payment solutions, starting with USD Coin, further enhances Solana’s reputation. The network’s reliable performance, with only one outage recorded in 2023, has also contributed to its ongoing appeal.
Solana’s Trading and Price Trends
Solana’s price has increased by approximately 95.5% year-to-date, reflecting its substantial growth amid market volatility. However, its trading has predominantly remained within a range of $20 to $25 since January. As of September 5, SOL was trading at around $19.5, indicating its stable position despite market fluctuations.
Despite its impressive performance, SOL has experienced a decline of 92.5% from its all-time high of nearly $260 in November 2021. Nonetheless, Solana’s steady inflows and robust performance suggest a promising outlook for this favored altcoin, even as the wider cryptocurrency market faces challenges and transitions.
