XRP Cashes In $119M While Ethereum's Hemorrhaging Continues Like It's Got Somewhere to Be

Crypto funds decided to stop having a collective panic attack last week, scraping together $224 million in inflows after March went full doom spiral when investors pulled $414 million faster than you can say "Iran conflict." Apparently, war jitters and inflation fears make people do stupid things with their money. Who knew?

Switzerland apparently looked at the global chaos and said "we're keeping calm and buying crypto," dumping $151.5 million into digital asset funds. Meanwhile, the US—land of the supposed crypto superpowers—limped in with a measly $27.5 million. Germany showed up with $27.7 million like the responsible adult in this group project, and Canada quietly added $11.2 million while everyone else was having an existential crisis.

XRP, everyone's favorite "it's definitely not a security" coin, absolutely dominated the week with $119.6 million in inflows—its fattest weekly haul since mid-December. The token has now gobbled up $159 million year-to-date, which represents about 7% of the entire category's assets under management. Meanwhile, US-listed XRP ETFs had their first red month since they launched in November, bleeding $31.1 million in outflows. Still, Q1 2026 managed to squeeze out $42.52 million in positive net flows, making XRP the second-most popular institutional choice after Solana. Not bad for a coin that was once valued at fractions of a penny and was beefing with the SEC.

Bitcoin funds did their thing with $107.3 million in inflows, though April is still underwater by $145 million. Short Bitcoin products—because apparently some people really want to bet against the orange brick—pulled in $16 million, their best week since mid-November. On the flip side, US Bitcoin ETFs woke up this week with $471.3 million in inflows, their biggest single day since late February. March finally broke Bitcoin's four-month outflow streak, landing $1.32 billion in
