Institutional Investors Are Heavily Accumulating XRP And Solana – Here Are The Numbers
Institutional investors are ramping up their exposure to digital assets following the US Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut. The latest CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report shows inflows of $1.9 billion into digital asset investment products last week, marking the second consecutive week of strong buying activity. It isn’t surprising that Bitcoin and Ethereum dominated the inflows, but both XRP and Solana also turned out as standout performers in last week’s inflow numbers.
Heavy Accumulation Of XRP And Solana
The broader digital asset market benefited from the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, with digital asset funds based on Bitcoin leading inflows at $977 million and Ethereum-based funds following with $772 million.

Solana, which has grown to become one of the most sought-after altcoins by institutions, recorded inflows of $127.3 million last week. These inflows pushed Solana’s month-to-date figure to $340.9 million, while year-to-date inflows climbed to $1.58 billion. At Solana’s total assets under management (AUM) now stand at $4.33 billion.
The numbers also show that institutions are now treating XRP’s future not just with price speculations but as a cryptocurrency with strong adoption prospects. XRP-based investment products also posted a strong week with inflows of $69.4 million. This brought its month-to-date inflows to $117.5 million and lifted year-to-date inflows to $1.51 billion.
