Woofun AI reports that a significant shift in institutional capital toward altcoins has emerged, with Wall Street driving a rally across XRP, Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) products.

XRP products captured the largest share with $39.78 million in net inflows for the week ended Aug. 21, marking their strongest performance since the week ended May 15, which saw approximately $60.5 million. Solana funds followed with $28.34 million, while Chainlink and Hyperliquid products added $13.35 million and $3.89 million, respectively. The smaller funds secured only a fraction of this capital, yet their inflow streaks persisted as the rally expanded beyond the two largest cryptocurrencies.

Woofun AI data shows cumulative net inflows reached around $1.19 billion, bolstered by an eight-week run of $56.3 million and a six-week run totaling $72 million for XRP products alone.

Asset prices mirrored this capital influx, with XRP climbing roughly 50% from below $1 to a high of $1.60 before retreating to $1.49. Solana jumped about 24%, briefly trading above $100 for the first time since February, though it later slipped back to around $93. LINK gained about 22%, touching $12 for the first time since January before settling at $11.40. These moves were amplified by regulatory signals, including Trump urging Congress to advance crypto market-structure legislation, which helped lift digital-asset prices during the week.

This capital rotation indicates the institutional bid is spreading deeper into the crypto market after months of subdued allocations outside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The sustained inflows suggest a structural diversification of institutional portfolios beyond the dominant large-cap assets.
