Wall Street just poured nearly $90 million into altcoins as XRP, SOL and HYPE rip higher

A notable development has hit the crypto markets. US-listed crypto exchange-traded funds outside Bitcoin and Ethereum drew nearly $90 million last week. Investors followed a sharp market rally into XRP, Solana, Chainlink and Hyperliquid. XRP products led the group with $39.

78 million of net inflows in the week ended Aug. 21, their strongest showing since the week ended May 15, when they attracted about $60. Solana funds followed with $28.

Market Dynamics

34 million, while Chainlink and Hyperliquid products added $13. 89 million, respectively. Data from SoSoValue shows that the rally broadened.

The ETF rebound was dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Spot Bitcoin funds pulled in $1. 92 billion during the week, and Ethereum products added about $697 million, taking their combined haul to $2.

61 billion, the strongest since October 2025 and their best week of 2026. The smaller funds captured only a fraction of that capital, but their inflow streaks extended as the rally spread beyond the two largest cryptocurrencies. XRP climbed roughly 50% from below $1 during the week to as high as $1.

Market Impact

Solana jumped about 24% and briefly traded above $100 for the first time since February. It then slipped back to around $93. XRP and Solana reclaim May flow highs XRP’s $39.

78 million intake extended its run of positive weekly flows to six. The products attracted about $72 million over that period. The latest allocations pushed cumulative net inflows since the U.

products launched to roughly $1. Weekly trading volume also reached a record $271. That activity accelerated alongside XRP’s price breakout.

This shift continues to shape the digital-asset landscape, with analysts examining its near-term effects.
