Glassnode data shows SOL’s 30-day realized cap inflows are now firmly back in positive territory, growing at a pace of 4–5%, a level that puts it on par with XRP.
While the inflows are relatively modest compared to frenzied periods in December and January, the move marks a trend reversal following a prolonged stretch of realized losses and capital outflows that reflected investor exit and fading conviction.
Realized cap inflow is a metric used to gauge actual capital entering or exiting an asset, based on the USD value of coins as they last moved on-chain. It filters out noise from speculative price spikes and instead tracks where holders are actually deploying capital.
For Solana, that number turning green again could indicate that buy-side pressure is finally returning, even if price action hasn’t fully reflected it.
Inflows into realized cap often serve as a leading indicator, suggesting some traders are positioning ahead of a potential bounce, or at the very least, a sign that capitulation has run its course.
