XRP Sees Largest Crypto ETF Inflows as Bitcoin and Ethereum Lose $143 Million

XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued to attract investor capital on Friday, recording the largest inflows among all crypto ETF products. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum funds extended their ongoing streaks of outflows.

Key Points

• XRP ETFs led inflows with $11.9M in a day, extending 16-day streak to $1.42B total net inflows.
• Bitcoin ETFs saw $125M outflows while Ethereum lost $17.9M, extending 10- and 14-day selloff streaks.
• Altcoin ETFs also saw gains, including HYPE $9.5M, SOL $1.32M, LINK $1.04M, while majors stayed flat.
• XRP ETF holdings hit 775M XRP (~1.26% supply), with rapid growth and over $1B AUM since late 2025 launch.

XRP ETFs Welcome $12M

According to SoSoValue data, XRP ETFs attracted $11.88 million in fresh investments on Friday. This pushed cumulative net inflows to $1.42 billion.

Bitwise led the inflows with $7.36 million. Canary Capital followed with $2.38 million, while Franklin Templeton added $2.14 million. Products from 21Shares and Grayscale recorded no new inflows during the session.

The latest figures mark XRP’s 16th consecutive day of positive ETF inflows. The streak began on April 30 and continues to gain momentum.

Notably, the steady demand comes as investors continue pulling money from both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Bleeding

Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $125.31 million on Friday, led by BlackRock’s withdrawals. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has now seen 10 consecutive days of ETF outflows. During that period, investors have withdrawn roughly $3 billion from Bitcoin funds.

Ethereum ETFs have experienced a similar trend. On Friday alone, Ethereum products lost $17.91 million.

Ethereum has now posted 14 straight days of ETF outflows. Approximately $720 million worth of ETH has left funds during the streak. BlackRock also led the latest round of Ethereum withdrawals.

Altcoin ETFs

While XRP led all crypto ETF inflows, several altcoin ETFs also attracted fresh capital. Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETFs brought in $9.5 million, while Solana ETFs added $1.32 million.

Chainlink products attracted $1.04 million, and Hedera (HBAR) ETFs recorded $249,730 in inflows. ETFs tied to BNB, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Avalanche saw no new inflows.

Among all crypto ETFs that posted positive flows on Friday, XRP ranked first. The performance highlights continued investor demand despite weakness in the spot market.

XRP ETF Adoption Continues to Expand

The strong inflow streak aligns with broader growth in the XRP ETF market, according to Messari’s latest State of XRP Q1 2026 report.

The report shows that U.S. spot XRP ETFs held 775.4 million XRP at the end of the first quarter of 2026. That represented about 1.26% of XRP’s circulating supply.

ETF holdings increased 1.9% quarter-over-quarter. They also reached a peak of 810.2 million XRP on March 3, 2026.

Messari noted that U.S. spot XRP ETFs launched in the fourth quarter of 2025 following SEC approval. The products surpassed $1 billion in assets under management in less than four weeks.

The milestone made XRP ETFs the fastest-growing crypto ETF category since Ethereum ETFs. It also expanded access for both retail and institutional investors.

Canary Capital’s XRPC ended the quarter as the largest U.S. spot XRP ETF by holdings. The fund controlled 197.1 million XRP, up 12.3% from the previous quarter.

Bitwise followed with 194.9 million XRP, representing a 47.5% quarterly increase. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ held 159.7 million XRP after growing 34.9%. Meanwhile, 21Shares’ TOXR held 105.8 million XRP.

Unlike the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF markets, the XRP ETF sector remains more evenly distributed. No single fund dominates the market.

According to Messari, the four largest U.S. spot XRP ETFs each control between 13% and 26% of total XRP ETF assets.
