Solana ETF inflows hit $33.5M as spot buying pressure builds
Solana (SOL)
ambcrypto.com reports that Solana ETF inflows reached $33.5 million in a single day, marking the largest daily inflow of 2026. This event contributes to a cumulative total of $1.22 billion for Solana ETFs, signaling a return of institutional positioning. August has seen over $3 billion flow into Bitcoin ETFs, highlighting strong risk-on sentiment. Solana recorded 4.2 billion transactions in July, a 13.5% increase from June, driven by tokenized assets and AI agent services. Despite this activity, the SOL/ETH ratio remains below the critical 0.04 level, though it has climbed 1.6% this week. The data suggests on-chain activity is back, potentially indicating fundamental rather than speculative demand. This shift could signal an important inflection point for Solana in the rest of Q3.
What Whalio's data showed
Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was published on 26 August 2026.
Whalio spot data shows a buy ratio of 61.0% on the 1-hour timeframe, which is significantly higher than the 54.3% on the 4-hour chart and 53.8% on the 24-hour chart. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term, with aggressive accumulation outpacing longer-term trends. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $6,610,296, contrasting with the 4-hour delta of $2,781,922 and the 24-hour delta of $38,012,627. The narrowing positive delta on shorter timeframes suggests that while net buying is strong over the day, the intensity of immediate buy orders is currently elevated. A CVD of $38,163,079 confirms sustained net buying pressure over the last 24 hours. With 18 of 24 hours showing net buying, the market structure supports the recent price increase to $96.60.
