Solana is slowly building its prominence on all fronts. After entering the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the spot market and establishing itself as one of the leading chains on the DeFi and NFT front, Solana is now targeting the institutional investors and quite successfully at that.
While the performance of investment vehicles in the last few weeks had been improving, outflows in the previous 14 days certainly broke that chain. However, this week, the overall net flows exceeded the gradual incline, and CoinShares marked the largest inflows since December 2021.

Of all the assets, Solana turned out to be the best performing crypto bringing in $87.1 million this week (37% of the total $193 million). Not only did it surpass every other altcoin, including Ethereum, but it also stood only $10 million below Bitcoin’s inflows.
This development made Solana a leading investment product right after Bitcoin, with the year-to-date inflows for the king coin sitting at $162 million and SOL’s inflows amounting to $95 million.

A lot of this was probably triggered by the recovery observed over the days, with Solana, in particular, rising by 25.29%.

Since last week though, a gradual incline has been building up when it comes to daily active users who are currently averaging at 200k addresses.
