The second and third places were taken by ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL). Funds focused on these cryptocurrencies raised another $ 6.6 million and $ 4.8 million in a week, respectively. Moreover, investments in SOL were observed even against the background of a temporary failure in the project’s blockchain.
The rest of the cryptocurrencies received a total of $ 28 million. That is the largest weekly inflow of institutional capital into the mid-tier altcoins.
