Weekly Crypto Highlights: XRP Expands to Solana, Bitcoin ETFs Surge, SHIB Shows Accumulation Signals

XRP has officially been introduced to the Solana network through a wrapped version (wXRP), enabling its use within Solana’s DeFi environment. The integration was made possible through collaboration between the Solana Foundation, LayerZero, and Hex Trust.

This move bridges two major blockchain ecosystems, allowing XRP holders to access lending, trading, and yield opportunities while benefiting from Solana’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their highest weekly inflows since January, signaling renewed institutional interest. According to Farside Investors, total inflows reached nearly $1 billion over the week.

The surge was largely driven by a strong end to the week, with a single day contributing over $600 million in inflows. Overall assets under management surpassed $100 billion, while trading volumes also climbed significantly, reflecting increased participation from both retail and institutional investors.

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is experiencing a shift in on-chain behavior, with exchange outflows exceeding one trillion tokens in a short period. Data shows that while both inflows and outflows have increased, more tokens are leaving exchanges than entering them.

This trend typically indicates accumulation by large holders, as supply is gradually moved off exchanges. Despite this, SHIB’s price has yet to react meaningfully, suggesting that market sentiment remains cautious for now.
