The capital split is getting pretty stark right now. Bitcoin ETFs picked up some inflows on January 13th, but that's just noise—the weekly picture is actually rough, with consistent selling pressure. Ethereum ETFs? They're bleeding steady, posting outflows day after day.
But here's where it gets interesting: Solana is bucking the trend. While BTC struggles to hold its ground and ETH faces persistent redemptions, SOL is seeing inflows. That disconnect matters. It signals money isn't just rotating between layer-1s—it's actively choosing Solana over the traditional heavyweights right now.
This kind of fund flow divergence usually tells you something about where smart money thinks the next move is. When you've got BTC under pressure, ETH in redemption mode, but SOL catching bids, that's a market making a statement about risk appetite and conviction.

This wave of SOL really took off, while BTC and ETH are still hurting each other.

This move by SOL is really just bloodsucking. BTC and ETH are crying in the toilet, and smart money has all moved to Solana.

This move by SOL is really sneaky, BTC and ETH are both bleeding, and it's still accumulating. It's a bit outrageous.

Why is SOL so popular now? BTC and ETH are both bleeding, which is indeed a bit outrageous.

Sol is really just eating up this wave, while BTC and ETH are still draining each other. Smart money has already pulled out.
