The crypto market's weekly on-chain soap opera aired another episode, and spoiler alert: capital has definitely picked its favorites. While some networks are swimming in fresh inflows like they just won the liquidity lottery, others are watching their treasuries look emptier than a JPEG bull's Twitter bio after a retrace.
According to the freshest weekly data, Layer-2 and alternative blockchain ecosystems showed up to the capital buffet like it was an all-you-can-eat sushi special. Polygon PoS absolutely printed this week with $117.33 million in net inflows, flexing harder than a degen who just discovered they didn't actually lose their entire wallet on that one trade. Hyperliquid came in hot at $112.11 million, practically doing victory laps around the competition. Base, Ink, and Injective (INJ) also enjoyed some lovely capital appreciation, while BNB Chain and Sui picked up whatever crumbs fell off the main table.
Top inflow destinations this week:
- Polygon PoS – $117.33 million
- Hyperliquid – $112.11 million
- Base – $23.70 million
- Ink – $15.62 million
- Injective (INJ) – $8.62 million
- BNB Chain – $2.57 million
- Sui – $106,000
Meanwhile, the outflow charts read like a tragic thread from someone who paper-handed too early. Arbitrum hemorrhaged $115.49 million, Ethereum's mainnet bled $62.72 million like it forgot to set a stop-loss, and OP Mainnet shed another $36.31 million. Solana decided to join the departure lounge with $34.26 million walking out the door, probably to go touch grass somewhere else.
The full outflow leaderboard:
- Arbitrum – -$115.49 million
- Ethereum (ETH) – -$62.72 million
- OP Mainnet – -$36.31 million
- Solana (SOL) – -$34.26 million
- Sei Network – -$14.51 million
- Berachain – -$5.02 million
- Avalanche C-Chain – -$3.30 million
- Starknet – -$3.28 million
- Unichain – -$2.27 million
- WorldChain – -$763,000
The divergence here is giving very intentional energy. Market participants appear to be getting surgical with their liquidity, channeling funds toward networks they're actually bullish on while giving the side-eye to others. Selective allocation is absolutely the name of the game this cycle, and the capital is making its preferences very, very clear.
