In 2025, institutional money flees Bitcoin and Ethereum to rush towards XRP and Solana, with record ETF flows exceeding one billion dollars. Why this historic turnaround? The data reveal an irreversible trend: investors now bet on crypto assets with concrete utility, not speculation.
Financial products backed by XRP have just crossed the one billion dollar mark in assets under management. For several weeks, inflows have accelerated, driven by renewed institutional interest. In a market dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the growth of Ripple's asset surprises by its consistency. This movement contrasts with capital outflows observed elsewhere, signaling a discreet but firm repositioning of investors towards an asset long kept in the background.

And for Valour, the DeFi Technologies subsidiary, this is much more than a simple launch. It is a signal addressed to an entire continent.
Solana is not collapsing but shows a clear cooling in the crypto market. SOL lost 52% between September 18 and November 21, in a context where altcoins have dropped. The key point is not just the price drop towards a possible 80 dollar scenario, it is the simultaneous decline of on-chain indicators, which suggests a real decrease in usage and engagement on the network.
Solana has resisted one of the most intense DDoS attacks ever recorded on a public blockchain, peaking at 6 terabits per second. The network remained stable, with no interruptions or notable degradation. This inadvertent test, occurring amid recurring technical tensions in the ecosystem, marks a turning point.

The case quickly took a diplomatic turn. After the hacking of Upbit, one of the largest South Korean crypto exchanges, Binance finds itself at the center of a controversy: some investigators in Seoul claim that the platform only froze a small portion of the stolen funds.

While Solana is losing ground in the crypto market, its ETFs show an unprecedented series of seven days of net inflows. In a downtrend, this institutional flow is intriguing: why inject so much capital into a declining asset?

Solana falters. Long presented as one of Ethereum’s most serious competitors, the blockchain today faces a significant decline in its fundamentals: liquidity drop, user disengagement, innovation slowdown. After months of euphoria, the ecosystem shows clear signs of slowdown.

While Bitcoin is leading a new rally, Solana sends a much more puzzling signal: capital is exiting ETFs but continues to flow on the blockchain.

While many eyes remain fixed on Bitcoin and Ether, Solana is currently playing a much subtler game. The SOL crypto still holds above the 120 dollar area, but this level is not just a technical support: it is supported by a real shift in liquidity and on-chain supply. However, trader-side demand remains surprisingly timid. And as long as this gap persists, Solana's structural advantage is not fully reflected in the price.
Kalshi is pushing prediction markets further into the crypto space as global demand accelerates. Rising interest in event-based trading has prompted the platform to tokenize event contracts on Solana, giving users more in sensitive markets.
