Glassnode data shows SOL's 30-day realized cap inflows are now firmly back in positive territory, growing at a pace of 4–5%, a level that puts it on par with XRP.

While the inflows are relatively modest compared to frenzied periods in December and January, the move marks a trend reversal following a prolonged stretch of realized losses and capital outflows that reflected investor exit and fading conviction.

Realized cap inflow is a metric used to gauge actual capital entering or exiting an asset, based on the USD value of coins as they last moved on-chain. It filters out noise from speculative price spikes and instead tracks where holders are actually deploying capital.

For Solana, that number turning green again could indicate that buy-side pressure is finally returning, even if price action hasn’t fully reflected it.

Inflows into realized cap often serve as a leading indicator, suggesting some traders are positioning ahead of a potential bounce, or at the very least, a sign that capitulation has run its course.

The crypto exchange also took note of a so-called AI bubble that continues to go strong and a weaker U.S. dollar.

Ce qu'il:

  • Coinbase Institutional is seeing a potential December recovery in crypto, citing improving liquidity and a shift in macroeconomic conditions that could favor risk assets like bitcoin.
  • The firm's optimism is driven by rising odds of Federal Reserve rate cuts, with markets pricing in a 93% chance easing next week, and improving liquidity conditions.
  • Several recent institutional developments, including Vanguard's crypto ETF policy reversal and Bank of America's greenlighting of crypto allocations, have contributed to bitcoin's rebound from recent lows.
