XRP Leads $224 Million Weekly Inflows as Ethereum Lags and Bitcoin Sentiment Remains Mixed

Global digital asset investment products recorded $224 million in net inflows for the week ending April 3, 2026, following a $414 million outflow the prior week, with XRP dominating at $119.6 million while Ethereum saw $52.8 million in outflows and Bitcoin posted $107.3 million in net inflows amid polarized investor sentiment.

Activity was concentrated in Europe, with Switzerland leading all jurisdictions at $157.5 million, followed by Germany ($27.7 million) and Canada ($11.2 million), while the United States ranked third with only $27.5 million.

XRP Funds Capture Largest Weekly Inflows Since December 2025

XRP investment products attracted $119.6 million in net inflows for the week, marking the largest weekly inflow for the asset since mid-December 2025. The surge brings XRP’s year-to-date inflows to $159 million, representing approximately 7% of its total assets under management, according to CoinShares data. The inflow strength comes as XRP continues to outperform other major digital assets in fund flows despite mixed sentiment across the broader crypto market.

Bitcoin Inflows Show Polarized Views as Short Products See Demand

Bitcoin-based products recorded $107.3 million in net inflows for the week, though net outflows for the month of April stood at $145 million. Short-bitcoin investment products attracted $16 million, the largest weekly inflow since mid-November 2025. CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill noted that the simultaneous inflows into both long and short Bitcoin products reflect polarized views on the asset’s near-term direction.

The data arrives as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs reported $471.3 million in net inflows on Monday, April 6, marking the highest single-day total since February 25, 2026. Those flows were led by BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, which attracted $181.9 million and $147.3 million, respectively.

Ethereum Continues to Lag with Outflows Tied to Clarity Act Concerns

Ethereum investment products posted $52.8 million in net outflows for the week, extending Ethereum’s underperformance relative to other major assets. Butterfill attributed the outflows to investors digesting recent negative developments, including those tied to the CLARITY Act, the proposed U.S. crypto market structure legislation that has raised concerns about the treatment of staked Ethereum products and yield-bearing stablecoin programs.

Ethereum’s outflows contrast with the broader trend of positive flows into other altcoin products.

Solana and Other Altcoins See Steady Inflows

Solana funds added $34.9 million in net inflows for the week, with steady inflows this year now representing 10% of its assets under management. The continued accumulation reflects sustained investor interest in Solana despite broader market volatility.

Other digital asset products saw modest activity, but XRP, Bitcoin, and Solana dominated the flow picture.

Regional Concentration in Europe as US Lags

Switzerland led all jurisdictions with $157.5 million in net inflows, followed by Germany with $27.7 million and Canada with $11.2 million. The United States ranked third with only $27.5 million in net inflows during the week, a notable shift from prior periods where U.S. investors typically drove crypto fund flows. Butterfill noted that stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales data later in the week, alongside increasingly hawkish investor expectations and mixed geopolitical signals, led to minor outflows in the latter half of the week.
