Altcoin Recovery Supported by ETF Inflows and Large-Holder Interest
Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) have continued a steady advance with double-digit percentage gains so far this month. XRP and SOL are drawing notable institutional interest, while ADA is benefiting from growing demand from large-wallet holders, often described as whales. Technical readings for all three tokens indicate that bullish momentum remains intact.
Exchange-traded funds focused on Ripple and Solana registered fresh inflows on Thursday, with $14.89 million moving into XRP products and $32.81 million into SOL products. These moves marked a third straight day of net inflows for XRP ETFs and a fifth consecutive session of inflows for SOL ETFs. The ongoing demand from institutional channels points to sustained interest in these altcoins and suggests investors are positioning for longer-term potential.
Cardano, meanwhile, is seeing strengthening support from large investors. On-chain data from Santiment shows that the percentage of ADA supply in profit has increased to 30.22%, up from 16.88% over the previous two weeks.

Momentum indicators are moderately favorable. The Relative Strength Index is just below 60, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence line is marginally under the zero mark, implying that the latest push higher is decelerating but has not yet flipped into a downside reversal.
Price action is currently above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.5137, calculated from the $0.9888 low to the $1.6999 high, which keeps the route open toward the $1.6999 swing high.
