Bubble

Community dubbed ETH killers Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) have seen outflows trading behind Ethereum this week. Both altcoins recorded daily inflows at the start of the week but a shift in market sentiment saw losses creep in.&nbsp; 
Ethereum remains the largest smart contract blockchain although newer chains have boasted of speed and lower cost per transaction. In December, Solana’s non-fungible token (<a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/nft-non-fungible-token/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFT</a>) numbers outpaced Ethereum, a sign of increased adoption around the network. This week, Solana meme coins were dominant boosting the price of the asset.&nbsp;

This week, Solana plunged 0.86% and trades at $166.51. The asset is down 5% in the last 24 hours as the bearish sentiment swirls around the market. Cardano posted a larger outflow of 5.43% this week while the last 24 hours saw 4.3% exits.

Both coins saw inflows at the start of the week following anticipation of a spot <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-news-maxi-deems-ethereum-etf-incredibly-bullish-for-btc-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum ETF</a> in the United States. Solana’s volumes increased 18% today showing signs of a turnaround should the wider market flip. <a href="https://coingape.com/price/cardano/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardano</a> also recorded a boost in daily trading volumes with a 16% increase. 
As bulls continue to show their presence, community developments have also played a role in the meeker cap of both assets. Solana’s market cap stands at $74.43 billion while Cardano’s is at $16 billion. The total value locked (TVL) on <a href="https://coingape.com/price/solana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solana</a> ends the week at $4.6 billion, a 3.6% decline with top platforms like Jito, Marinade, and Kamino.&nbsp;

This week has been all about Ethereum with spot ETF dominating trader narratives. The Securities and Exchange Commission approved the ETFs on May 23 igniting a new wave of market sentiment. Ethereum gains 20.3% this week becoming the biggest gainer in the top 10 crypto list. The asset only trails meme coin <a href="https://coingape.com/price/pepe-coin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEPE</a> in the top 20 for weekly gains.&nbsp;
