Solana (SOL) is reclaiming market dominance, recording its largest capital inflow in the past two months, driven by strong buying pressure from institutional investors.

According to crypto media outlet U.Today on May 12 (local time), Solana investment products saw an inflow of $5.8 million last week. This is the highest recorded amount in approximately two months since March. Solana had experienced outflows in recent weeks, but this large inflow has sharply reversed market sentiment. It achieved the second-highest inflow among all virtual assets, following Bitcoin (BTC), solidifying its position as a leading altcoin.

The reason institutional investors chose Solana lies in the network's technical completeness and ecosystem scalability. Solana has expanded its influence in the DeFi and NFT markets based on its ability to process thousands of transactions per second and low fees. Recently, news that major financial institutions are considering launching Solana-based financial products has further boosted investor confidence. It is also noteworthy that over 90% of the capital inflow originated from North American institutions.

Significant bullish signals were also detected in the price chart. Solana broke through key resistance levels between $140 and $150, laying the groundwork for further gains. Whale investors began accumulating large amounts of SOL in response to the news of the capital inflow. According to analysis by on-chain data firm Santiment, the number of active addresses on the Solana network increased by 25% compared to Q1, indicating abundant internal liquidity within the ecosystem.

U.S. President Donald Trump's pro-crypto policy stance is also positively impacting the Solana market. Trump has pledged to protect the virtual asset industry within the U.S., hinting at regulatory easing. This political backdrop has created an environment where institutional investors can mitigate regulatory risks and deploy large amounts of capital. Market participants are closely monitoring the progress of the U.S. crypto market structure bill (CLARITY) and the speed of Solana's institutional adoption.

With this capital inflow, Solana is evaluated to have completely exited its downtrend and entered a new uptrend cycle. The continuous decrease in SOL balances on exchanges, intensifying the supply shortage, is also a factor that increases the possibility of future price surges. With strong institutional liquidity supporting the market's bottom, Solana is preparing for a rebound towards the $200 mark.
