Solana's first-day trading volume on Monad approaches top platforms, and on-chain liquidity has experienced a qualitative change

On February 11th, news broke that on its first day of launch, the Monad platform quietly demonstrated "platform-level" trading capabilities on the Solana network. According to statistics from Sunrise DeFi writer shaddwfax, the on-chain trading volume of MON on Solana, when compared to traditional crypto trading platforms, would rank in the top five globally on that day, second only to a few leading platforms. This performance quickly sparked a reevaluation in the market of Solana's high-throughput public chain and its DeFi liquidity capacity. Data shows that the initial trading volume of MON on Solana was approximately $97 million, not a slow accumulation but a rapid surge within a short period. Within 24 hours of launch, its trading volume exceeded that of early Hyperliquid MON trades by over 122%, making Solana the core battleground for this round of price discovery. Even more noteworthy, within just 48 hours, the network completed over $400 million in related transactions, with nearly 360,000 total trades, demonstrating large-scale participation of real users and real funds.

Spot Bitcoin ETF attracts $167 million in a single day, institutions rebalance holdings in XRP and Solana

On February 11, it was reported that the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded net capital inflows for the third consecutive trading day, attracting approximately $167 million on Tuesday. The total inflow for this week has reached $311.6 million, nearly offsetting last week's outflow of $318 million. Previously, these products experienced three consecutive weeks of negative inflows, with total outflows exceeding $3 billion. Although Bitcoin's price has fallen about 13% over the past seven days and briefly dropped below $68,000, capital movement indicates that there has been no large-scale withdrawal by institutions. Several analysts pointed out that recent selling pressure has significantly eased, and the ETF capital curve shows signs of stabilization, with market sentiment gradually recovering.
