Solana has risen to $219.50 and XRP has topped $3 as both cryptocurrencies outperform a cooling Ethereum market. With optimism surrounding expected U.S. ETF approvals for these assets, prediction markets show over half of users believe Solana could reach new all-time highs by year-end, while a similar bullish sentiment surrounds XRP reaching $4. European funds are already seeing strong inflows, with Solana funds experiencing 21 consecutive weeks of inflows and XRP products pulling in $1.2 billion in 2025. Analysts note that growing interest is driven by the potential simplification for U.S. investors to access these assets through ETFs rather than purchasing them directly. Stronger fundamentals in Solana, including its developer ecosystem and efficiency in DeFi and NFTs, further contribute to its attractiveness. Both cryptocurrencies displayed notable resilience compared to the broader crypto market, indicating a potential shift in investor focus toward altcoins with perceived strong growth prospects.
