RIPPLE'S XRP ETFS PULL IN $75M AS WALL STREET DEMAND SURGES
US spot XRP ETFs have quietly attracted over $75 million in April 2026 inflows while Tuttle Capital files for a new XRP Income Blast ETF and whale wallets accumulate roughly $500 million in tokens.
US spot $XRP exchange-traded funds have quietly absorbed more than $75 million in net inflows this April, marking the strongest month for the products in 2026 — even as broader market attention remained squarely on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Data from SoSoValue shows the five US-listed spot $XRP ETFs now collectively hold approximately $1.08 billion in assets, equivalent to roughly 1.20% of the token's total circulating supply. Franklin Templeton's $XRP fund, trading under the ticker XRPZ, has been among the leading contributors to recent daily inflows, alongside Bitwise's XRP ETF, which has pulled in $39.59 million this month alone.
New ETF Filing Adds to Institutional Momentum
Tuttle Capital Management has filed a prospectus with the SEC for an XRP Income Blast ETF, a yield-focused product that would use options and synthetic positions to generate weekly income distributions tied to $XRP's daily performance. The filing, originally submitted in September 2025, received an effective-date amendment in early 2026 and is structured as an actively managed fund intended to list on the Cboe BZX Exchange.
Unlike the existing spot $XRP ETFs, which hold the token directly, Tuttle's proposed fund takes a structurally different approach — closer to a covered-call or income-generation product than a straightforward crypto tracker. Its arrival adds another layer to an expanding lineup of $XRP-linked institutional products.
Whale Accumulation Mirrors ETF Demand
The ETF activity has coincided with significant on-chain buying. Large wallets have accumulated roughly $500 million worth of $XRP over recent weeks, purchasing approximately 11 million tokens per day at a pace that data providers describe as the strongest whale accumulation since mid-2025. Exchange reserves for $XRP have simultaneously fallen to a seven-year low, tightening the available supply pool.
Despite these converging demand signals, $XRP's price has remained stubbornly range-bound, hovering near the $1.42 level and well below its July 2025 all-time high. Futures open interest and funding rates have moved sideways, reflecting a market that has yet to commit to a directional move.
When ETF inflows, whale accumulation, and new product filings all align while price stays flat, it typically indicates that supply is being absorbed beneath the surface. Whether that pressure eventually resolves to the upside or stays contained will likely depend on broader macro conditions and Bitcoin's trajectory in the weeks ahead.
