Solana Hits $145 Million Single-Day Inflows Amid $12.76 Billion DeFi Growth

- Solana-based digital asset products see $145 million in single-day inflows. - Institutional investments push DeFi ecosystem past $12.76 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL). Solana is witnessing a remarkable surge in market activity, marked by record-breaking inflows and an expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. On September 15, 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that Solana-linked digital asset products, including ETFs and ETPs, recorded an impressive $145 million in single-day inflows. This milestone is part of a 14-week growth streak that has attracted $4.1 billion to Solana-related investments, a trend reflecting increasing investor confidence in the blockchain’s potential. The growth of Solana’s DeFi ecosystem is equally notable, as activity across staking, lending, and meme token trading has driven the network’s total value locked (TVL) past $12.76 billion. Stablecoin inflows are a key driver of this expansion, adding $255 million in just one day. In addition, Solana is gaining from cross-chain interactions, with users transferring $33 million in wrapped Ethereum (WETH) and wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) from Ethereum over the past week. These assets are being deployed as collateral on Solana’s decentralized platforms, reinforcing its financial ecosystem. Institutional investments are propelling this growth further. Forward Industries has earmarked $1.65 billion for private placements within the Solana network, while Galaxy Digital has committed $283 million. This surge of institutional capital, combined with rising developer adoption, solidifies Solana’s position as a formidable player in the blockchain space. Furthermore, its market capitalization recently overtook Binance Coin (BNB), drawing additional attention. Analysts now forecast potential price peaks exceeding $250, fueled by robust on-chain metrics and a growing dApp and NFT ecosystem. According to CoinMarketCap, Solana (SOL) was trading at $233.616 as of 15:09 UTC on September 15, representing a 3.713% decline in the last 24 hours.
