According to the report, as Ethereum (ETH) continues its weekly loss, Solana (SOL) seems to be benefitting.
The report read in part:
“Ethereum continues to suffer with outflows totaling $70 million last week having suffered 11 straight weeks of outflows, bringing year-to-date outflows to $459 million. Solana looks to be benefitting from investors’ worries over The Merge (ETH2), with inflows of $0.7 million last week and $109 million year-to-date.”

On the other hand, CoinShares’ report says that the Institutional Investment products of Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, saw inflows totaling $28 million last week.
“Bitcoin saw inflows totaling $28 million last week and looks to be benefitting from weak prices with month-to-date inflows at $46 million.”
According to the firm, despite Bitcoin’s inflows, the overall digital asset investment product market still suffered about $40 million in outflows over the last week. Howbeit, the year-to-year flows remain positive at $403 million.
Other altcoin products that experienced outflows last week are Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and Tron (TRX). But Binance Coin (BNB) and Litecoin (LTC) investment products enjoyed inflows.
