Crypto ETP Inflows Hit $224M as XRP Leads Weekly Gains; Bitcoin ETFs See Strongest Daily Inflow Since February

3 hour ago 8 sources positive

Key takeaways:

  • XRP's record inflows suggest institutional repositioning ahead of potential regulatory clarity.
  • Ether's persistent outflows highlight regulatory uncertainty as a key headwind for ETH products.
  • Bitcoin ETF momentum revival indicates renewed institutional confidence despite mixed quarterly performance.

Cryptocurrency investment products recorded a notable rebound in inflows last week, with global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracting $224 million. This followed a significant outflow of $414 million the week prior, according to a report from CoinShares on Tuesday. The fresh inflows brought total assets under management to approximately $131.8 billion, a level roughly in line with the same period last year. Year-to-date inflows have now reached about $1.2 billion, surpassing the $960 million recorded over the same timeframe in the previous year.

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, noted that the inflows marked a brief rebound in sentiment before later-week macro data and policy expectations reversed momentum. XRP (XRP) led the weekly inflows with approximately $120 million, contributing more than half of the net weekly total. Butterfill highlighted that this represented XRP's largest weekly inflows since mid-December 2025, bringing its year-to-date inflows to $159 million.

Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs followed closely with $107 million in weekly inflows, pushing their year-to-date flows slightly above $1 billion. However, within this figure, only around $22 million was contributed by US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which remain in negative territory for the year. Solana (SOL) also saw minor inflows totaling about $35 million last week, with steady inflows this year representing 10% of its total assets under management.

In contrast, Ether (ETH) investment products continued to face headwinds, posting $53 million in outflows last week. This followed $222 million in outflows the prior week, bringing year-to-date outflows for Ether products to $327 million. Butterfill attributed the negative sentiment around Ether to developments tied to the CLARITY Act, a major piece of US crypto legislation closely linked to stablecoins, which are largely issued on the Ethereum blockchain. Following months of delays, US Senate Banking Committee member Bill Hagerty indicated a potential path for the bill in the coming weeks.

Geographically, Switzerland led last week’s inflows with roughly $157 million, followed by Germany and the US, which both recorded about $28 million each, and Canada with $11 million.

Separately, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs reignited momentum with their strongest daily inflow in over a month. On Monday, these ETFs captured $471 million in inflows, the largest single-day figure since February 25. This surge coincided with Bitcoin trading near $69,200. BlackRock's IBIT led the day with about $182 million in inflows, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at roughly $147 million and ARKB at nearly $119 million—the latter marking its strongest daily haul since July 2025.

Across the first three trading sessions of April, US spot Bitcoin ETFs accumulated about $307 million in net inflows, lifting total assets under management back above $90 billion. This rebound follows a mixed first quarter. Beyond Bitcoin, US spot Ethereum ETFs added $120 million on Monday, though they remain in a three-month outflow trend totaling about $770 million. Altcoin ETF activity was muted, with XRP flat and Solana products drawing only about $247,000 in inflows.
