On its part, Solana has been tipped to become one of the most sought-after due to its scalability and high throughput. Its native token SOL has experienced a 24% rise in the last month whereas Ethereum experienced a drop of 5% in its value.

CoinShares believes that investor appetite for exchange-traded funds may be on the decline despite the massive $646 million worth of inflows into crypto investment products. “Despite this, there are signs that appetite from ETF investors is moderating, not achieving the weekly flow levels seen in early March, while volumes last week declined to US$17.4bn for the week compared to US$43bn in the first week of March,” CoinShares noted.

Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, over 834,000 Bitcoins worth $60.4 billion have been shifted into these funds. Data from Dune notes that ETFs have only accumulated about 4.24% of the total Bitcoin supply. CoinShares also noted that short Bitcoin investment products experienced outflows for the third consecutive week, with the outflow signaling a minor capitulation among bearish investors.
