As of the current moment, Ethereum is trading at $2,367, experiencing a slight dip of over 2.4% in the past week. Despite this, Ethereum has witnessed a commendable 78.5% surge over the last 12 months amid the broader cryptocurrency market recovery, while BTC recorded a 170% increase during the same period.

According to AZC News, cryptocurrency investment products attracted approximately $2.2 billion in inflows over the past year, with the majority originating from Bitcoin-focused products, accounting for $1.93 billion contributed by institutional investors.

In the realm of altcoins, the favored choice among these investors was the smart contract platform Solana ($SOL), experiencing inflows of $167 million throughout the year. Solana demonstrated an impressive 650% surge, rebounding from the FTX collapse. Notably, Solana’s inflows surpassed those of investment products centered around the second-largest digital asset, Ethereum.
