XRP Institutional Demand Explodes 290%, Solana Jumps 90%: CoinShares Report Reveals Crypto Power Shift

Wall Street’s crypto cravings just got a major upgrade—and the numbers don’t lie. Institutional investors are diving headfirst into altcoins, with XRP and Solana leading the charge.

The XRP Surge: 290% and Counting

Ripple’s embattled token is suddenly the darling of hedge funds and asset managers. CoinShares data shows a near-tripling in institutional inflows—proof that even regulatory uncertainty can’t scare off big money when the upside’s this juicy.

Solana’s 90% Leap: DeFi’s Dark Horse

Not to be outdone, SOL’s institutional inflows spiked 90% as its ecosystem shrugs off last year’s outages. TradFi players clearly believe in the ‘Ethereum killer’ narrative—or just want to hedge their ETH bets (classic portfolio manager move).

Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs gather dust as the smart money chases real alpha. Maybe next quarter, boomers.
