According to cvj.ai, Solana maintained its position above $100 while crypto exchange-traded funds recorded $1.3 billion in inflows last week. This marks the sixth consecutive week of positive flows, bringing the total for the streak to $6.8 billion. Bitcoin’s iShares Trust (IBIT) led the charge with $3.4 billion raised, establishing a four-week average inflow of $1.5 billion.
Despite four outflow sessions exceeding $463 million on Monday, spot Bitcoin ETFs still added $160 million. Spot Ether ETFs also saw renewed interest, raising $121 million during the period. Solana-focused funds registered net inflows of $11.01 million on September 14, pushing cumulative inflows to $1.37 billion.
Bitwise’s BSOL led daily demand with $7.10 million, followed by Grayscale’s GSOL at $3.91 million. The broader market cap slipped 0.79% to $2.63 trillion, with Bitcoin near $77,000 and Ethereum around $2,478. Meanwhile, a Senate procedural vote on the CLARITY Act tests bipartisan support, requiring 60 votes to advance debate. The legislation aims to provide regulatory clarity for digital assets, a key factor as institutional demand remains strong.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was written up on 16 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Solana is currently trading at $96.88, showing a mixed short-term sentiment with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.6% against a 4-hour ratio of 47.8%. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 47.8%, indicating that buying pressure is slightly weaker over the longer timeframe compared to the immediate hour. Volume delta data reveals a divergence, with positive $87,520 in the last hour contrasting sharply with a negative $1,669,397 over four hours and -$12,363,420 over 24 hours. This negative 24-hour delta suggests that sellers have been more aggressive than buyers over the full day. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) closed at -$1,172,981, confirming net selling pressure across the period. Despite this, spot volume remained robust at $280,674,758 with 953,367 trades executed.
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.
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, the 7-day average buy ratio was 48.5%, with the latest day showing a slight decrease of 0.7 points. Volume for the day was 1.37 times the average, indicating heightened activity compared to normal trading days. Net buying occurred on only 2 of the 7 days, and the price dropped 6.3% over the eight-day period. The 8-day volume delta totaled -$52,408,021, reflecting a broader trend of outflows compared to the single day's metrics. This context suggests that while today's volume is elevated, the underlying trend remains bearish with more days of net selling than buying.
