According to cvj.ai, Solana ETFs attracted $9.1 million in net inflows on August 26, driving the token past the $100 mark for the first time since February. Morgan Stanley’s MSOL led the charge with $5.5 million, representing roughly 60% of the total, while Bitwise’s BSOL added $2.6 million and VanEck’s VSOL took in $1 million. This inflow extended a strong weekly run, bringing total weekly subscriptions to approximately $74.8 million and positioning Solana funds for their strongest performance of 2026.
August inflows have now reached about $113 million, trailing only May’s $115 million peak. Trading activity also surged, with Bitwise President Teddy Fusaro noting that BSOL recorded a record $108 million volume session on August 24. Cumulative net inflows since launch stand at $1.26 billion, with only one daily net outflow recorded this month.
The price recovery pushed SOL’s market capitalization above $60 billion, with the token reaching as high as $105. This rally coincides with Bitcoin climbing above $81,000 and Ethereum moving past $2,500. Analysts point to stronger network activity, citing about 5 million daily active addresses as support for continued recovery.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows SOL trading at $102.07 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.7%, indicating that buyers controlled the majority of volume over the full day. However, shorter-term pressure shifted, with the 1-hour and 4-hour buy ratios dropping to 48.6% and 48.8% respectively, suggesting buying interest is fading in the immediate term. The 24-hour volume delta was positive at $19,185,180, meaning more money flowed into spot buys than sells over the day. In contrast, the 1-hour and 4-hour volume deltas were negative, showing recent selling pressure outweighing buying pressure. This divergence indicates that while the day ended net positive, the most recent hours saw traders taking profits or exiting positions. The CVD closed at $54,850,795, confirming that cumulative buying pressure remained strong despite the short-term dip.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.8% sits at the 27th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.0% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What SOL did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SOL, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, SOL saw net buying on all seven days, with a 7-day average buy ratio of 52.5%. The latest day’s buy ratio of 53.7% was 1.2 percentage points higher than the weekly average, showing slightly stronger buying intensity today. However, spot volume was only 0.57 times the weekly average, indicating that trading activity was notably lighter than usual for this period. The price rose 19.5% over the eight-day period, supported by a total volume delta of $175,409,002. This context suggests that while today’s buying ratio was above average, the lower volume makes it an unusual day compared to the consistent activity seen throughout the rest of the week.
