- XRP-linked products rebound after prior week outflows
- Bitcoin leads with $933M weekly inflows and $4B year-to-date
- Fed meeting looms as next major catalyst for crypto markets
Crypto investment products are seeing money flow back in again, and XRP is quietly part of that shift. After losing $56 million the week before, XRP-linked funds have returned to inflows, joining a broader trend that’s now stretched into a fourth consecutive week of gains.
It’s not leading the charge, not even close, but the reversal matters, especially in a market that’s still trying to find its footing.
Bitcoin Still Pulling Most of the Weight
As expected, Bitcoin is doing most of the heavy lifting here. It brought in $933 million in a single week, pushing its year-to-date inflows to around $4 billion, which is… a pretty dominant position.
Trading above $76,000 during the reporting period, BTC continues to attract institutional capital, especially as investors position ahead of the upcoming Fed decision.
Ethereum and Altcoins Stay in the Mix
Ethereum also held its ground, pulling in $192 million and marking its third straight week above the $190 million level. That kind of consistency suggests steady demand, even if it’s not as aggressive as Bitcoin’s.
Meanwhile, Solana and XRP combined for around $47 million in inflows, which isn’t massive, but it does show that capital is still spreading, just more selectively.
Regional Flows Show Broad Participation
The United States continues to dominate inflows, contributing about $1.1 billion of the total, which reinforces its role as the primary driver of institutional crypto investment. Germany also stepped up, more than doubling its previous week’s contribution, while Switzerland and Canada added smaller, but still meaningful, amounts.
It’s a fairly broad-based participation, even if the scale varies by region.
Blockchain Stocks Join the Rally
Interestingly, it’s not just crypto assets seeing inflows. Blockchain-related equity ETFs have attracted $617 million over the past three weeks, hitting record highs as investors look for exposure beyond direct token ownership.
That trend suggests growing interest in the infrastructure side of the industry, not just the assets themselves.
All Eyes on the Fed
The next major moment for markets is the Federal Reserve meeting on April 28–29. While no rate change is expected, Jerome Powell’s tone could influence sentiment significantly, either reinforcing the current risk-on mood or introducing some hesitation.
Bitcoin has already pulled back slightly after testing higher levels, and with the total market sitting around $2.6 trillion, the reaction to the Fed could set the tone for what comes next.
