April $2B ETF boom — BTC, ETH and XRP funds print largest inflows of 2026

After a shaky Q1, the spot ETF complex pulled $2.04B in net April inflows. The XRP fund did 38% of it.

After a shaky Q1, the spot ETF complex came roaring back in April. Net April inflows across BTC, ETH and XRP spot funds totaled $2.04B — the largest single month of 2026, and the largest since the post-launch Q1 2024 surge. The XRP fund did 38% of it on its own.

XRP ETF flows are the structural surprise. The fund was the slowest of the three to receive SEC approval; six months later it is producing the largest absolute inflows. The driver is the SBI Visa Crypto Card launch in Japan, which routes XRP rewards directly through the same custodian rails.
