XRP ETFs Outperform Bitcoin as Crypto Funds Surge After a Bearish Week
Bitcoin usually leads the investment activity in crypto ETFs, but last week XRP took the lead as overall crypto fund flows turned positive.
Cryptocurrency investment products attracted $224 million in inflows last week, according to a report from asset manager CoinShares, while European markets unexpectedly dominated global activity and XRP surged to its best performance in months.
Switzerland led regional inflows with $157.5 million — far exceeding the $27.5 million from the U.S. market — marking an unusual geographical shift in institutional investment patterns in cryptocurrencies, according to CoinShares research analyst James Butterfill.
Weekly data revealed XRP as the main star, with $119.6 million in inflows, its highest weekly figure since mid-December 2025. The increase raised XRP's year-to-date accumulated inflows to $159 million, representing 7% of assets under management.
Other major cryptocurrencies showed mixed performance during the week. Bitcoin attracted $107.3 million, despite starting April with net outflows of $145 million, while Ethereum extended its recent struggles with $52.8 million in outflows last week.
Solana broke the negative trend with $34.9 million in inflows, bringing its year-to-date performance to 10% of assets under management. Short products on Bitcoin also recorded renewed interest, attracting $16 million — their largest inflows since mid-November 2025 —. The report attributed some weekend outflows to better-than-expected retail sales data and a shift in investor expectations.
The geographical shift in flows occurs as regulatory frameworks continue to diverge between jurisdictions. #xrp $XRP #bitcoin $BTC #StrategyBTCPurchase
