Capital movement across blockchain networks is always a key sign for judging investor confidence and network activity. Looking at the last week, Base blockchain came out on top for positive net flow, doing better than all other chains.
Solana was right behind, taking second place even with ongoing worries about its network stability.
Base and Solana Dominate Blockchain Net Inflows
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Arbitrum also saw positive net flows, though not as much. On the other hand, Polygon PoS, Sui, and StarkNet had minor inflows, while Avalanche C-Chain and OP Mainnet experienced significant outflows.
Notably, OP Mainnet had the biggest capital outflow, showing weaker investor sentiment towards that chain.

Base Overtakes Solana in Capital Inflows
Even with market uncertainty, Base became the leader in net capital inflows. This is quite notable, especially given Solana’s lead position in recent times
Market sentiment toward Solana has been mixed, mostly because of past outages and centralization talk. However, its ability to keep attracting strong inflows suggests confidence in its long-term potential. The recent flow of money highlights investor optimism even when prices are moving up and down in the short term.
Solana Price Analysis: Key Levels to Watch
Solana’s price has gone down of late, currently trading at $172.16 after a 6.45% drop over the past 24 hours.
The price initially went up to an intraday high of $184.03 before hitting resistance, causing a downward trend. A strong resistance level appeared around $184-$186, where selling pressure increased, leading to a pullback.
Key support levels are forming at $172, $170, and the $165-$168 range. If the price doesn’t stay above $172, further declines could push it toward $170. A stronger breakdown may lead to a retest of the $165-$168 support zone, where buyers could come back into the market.
