XRP ETFs outpace BTC in fund inflows

TLDR

XRP exchange-traded products have briefly attracted more new money than Bitcoin products, mainly from Europe, but off a much smaller base.

1. Last week, XRP funds took in about $119.6 million versus Bitcoins $107 million, leading global crypto ETP inflows of $224 million.
2. The XRP lead is driven by European products and rotation from other majors; Bitcoin still dominates in total assets and longer-term ETF demand.
3. Sustainability depends on whether these flows persist as macro conditions and regulation evolve, and on how Bitcoin ETF flows behave in coming weeks.

Deep Dive

1. What The Flows Actually Show

CoinShares data reported that crypto investment products saw $224 million of inflows last week, with XRP products leading at roughly $119.6 million, the largest weekly intake since mid?December 2025 and about 53% of the total, while Bitcoin products drew about $107.3 million and Ether funds saw roughly $52.8 million of outflows.

Regionally, around $157.5 million of the $224 million came from Switzerland, with much smaller contributions from the United States, Germany, and Canada, showing that this rebound is narrow and Europe?led rather than a broad global shift.crypto inflow rebound led by Switzerland and XRP

2. Why Money Tilted Toward XRP

Commentary on the same CoinShares report notes that XRPs surge comes after prior outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum products, with some investors rotating into XRP as a liquid altcoin with clearer regulation in certain jurisdictions.XRP favored by institutional investors

Daily data underline the rotation: on 7 April, US?listed Bitcoin spot ETFs saw about $159 million of net outflows while XRP ETFs gained roughly $3.3 million, so XRP beat Bitcoin that day simply because BTC was losing capital.Bitcoin spot ETFs see $159m outflow, XRP gains $3.3m

Crucially, XRPs fund ecosystem is much smaller. US XRP ETFs hold around $940 million in assets,XRP ETP flows concentrated in Europe while Bitcoin ETFs collectively manage about $90.94 billion according to recent ETF AUM data, so similar dollar flows are far more material for XRP in percentage terms.

3. Signals To Watch Next

Despite the soft week, Bitcoin ETF demand remains substantial: shortly after, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $471 million of net inflows in a single day, bringing cumulative flows across all BTC funds to roughly $56.43 billion.Bitcoin ETFs see resurgent demand

For XRP, the key questions are whether weekly inflows stay elevated, whether they remain concentrated in Europe, and whether price action starts to reflect the fund demand rather than lag it. For Bitcoin, watch if ETF flows oscillate around zero or re?establish a sustained positive trend, which would likely reassert BTCs dominance in institutional portfolios.

Conclusion

XRP funds have just posted an unusually strong week of inflows, outpacing Bitcoin products both over seven days and in at least one daily snapshot, largely on the back of European demand. However, Bitcoin still dwarfs XRP in ETF assets and cumulative flows, and early signs show BTC ETF buying picking back up. For crypto users, this looks more like a tactical rotation toward XRP than a permanent change in the institutional base asset, making ongoing flow data a key metric to monitor.
