Spot Ripple XRP ETFs Explode in April 2026

Spot XRP ETFs in the United States have brought in $68.88 million in net inflows during April 2026, making it the strongest month of the year for the funds and a full reversal from March. The run has put XRP ahead of every other altcoin ETF this month, even as Tuesday's session closed with zero net flows across all five products.

The figures come from SoSoValue data through April 21. Cumulative net inflows since launch now sit at $1.28 billion, with total net assets at $1.07 billion, representing 1.22% of XRP's circulating supply.

How does April compare to the rest of 2026?

April's $68.88 million haul is already the best month of 2026 by a wide margin. February pulled in $58.09 million, and January came in at $15.59 million. March flipped negative at $31.16 million in outflows. With seven trading days still left in the month, April has already cleared every other reading and is still adding to its total.

Daily flows tell the same story. Since the $661,000 outflow on April 9, the funds have posted uninterrupted positive or flat sessions. April 15 alone brought $17.11 million in net inflows, followed by $11.87 million on the 16th and $13.74 million on the 17th. Tuesday's reading broke the streak of positive days but did not pull the month into the red.

The weekly view underlines the momentum. The week ending April 17 saw $55.39 million in net inflows, the strongest weekly print of 2026 for the category.

Who is leading the pack?

Five issuers run spot XRP ETFs in the US, and the leaderboard has tightened in recent weeks. Canary Capital's XRPC now sits at the top of cumulative net inflows with $421.86 million, edging out Bitwise's XRP at $416.75 million. Franklin Templeton's XRPZ follows at $345.01 million, and Grayscale's GXRP has collected $120.93 million since launch.

21Shares' TOXR remains the outlier, with a cumulative negative $20.70 million, the only fund in the group still running net outflows.

Fees separate the products more than performance does right now. Franklin charges the lowest rate at 0.19%, followed by 21Shares at 0.30%, Bitwise at 0.34%, Grayscale at 0.35%, and Canary at 0.50%.

How do XRP ETFs stack up against other altcoin ETFs?

XRP is the clear leader among altcoin ETF categories this month. Spot Solana ETFs pulled in $35.17 million during the strong week ending April 17, roughly 36% below XRP's $55.39 million. Spot Chainlink ETFs brought in $5.30 million over the same stretch, a fraction of what XRP and Solana attracted.

Across the five major spot crypto products, including XRP, Solana, and Chainlink, combined weekly inflows reached roughly $1.37 billion. XRP took the largest altcoin slice of that pie. Solana posted its first positive week after three straight weeks of outflows, but still trailed XRP in both absolute and relative terms.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continue to dominate the broader flow picture, but they play in a different league. Among altcoin-specific products, no other category is showing the April momentum that XRP has delivered.

What is driving the April surge?

The inflows have arrived through a choppy price environment. XRP has faced pressure earlier in 2026, trading well below its 2025 peaks, yet ETF demand has held firm. That pattern suggests institutional allocators are treating the ETFs as a structural position rather than a short-term trade.

JPMorgan's earlier forecast pegged first-year inflows for XRP ETFs at $4 billion to $8.4 billion. Cumulative flows have reached $1.28 billion in under a year, leaving plenty of room to run against the low end of that forecast if the April pace holds.

The steady buying also continues to lock up $XRP. Spot ETF products now hold a combined 1.22% of XRP's circulating supply, a figure that has climbed alongside this month's inflows and represents a steady source of non-speculative demand.
