Solana, a competitor to Ethereum offering a flexible infrastructure and faster transaction settlement, saw the largest inflows of any digital asset last week totalling US$7.1m.

Ethereum saw minor inflows totalling US$3.2m last week along with other altcoins such as Cardano, Litecoin and Polkadot which saw inflows of US$6.4m, US$1.8m and US$1.1m respectively.
