Crypto Funds Show Positive Inflows Driven by Ripple’s XRP

Between April 12 and 18, clients of cryptocurrency investment funds added $6 million following a $795 million outflow the previous week. According to CoinShares, the primary driver was increased interest in XRP.

AUM rose to $131.75 billion.

Outflows from digital gold-based instruments slowed from $751 million to $6 million, while those based on Ethereum decreased from $37.6 million to $26.7 million.

The segment of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded an inflow of $381.4 million. The previous week, investors had withdrawn $713.3 million from these products.

Among altcoins, Sui ($1.1 million) and XRP ($37.7 million) stood out. Inflows into the latter have nearly matched those of ether-based funds since the beginning of the year.

Earlier, it was noted that the cryptocurrency market is expected to reach a local bottom by June, with the future direction influenced by the results of U.S. negotiations with major trading partners regarding tariffs, according to Nansen.

Coinbase recommended maintaining a “constructive attitude” regarding Bitcoin’s prospects in the second half of 2025.

Previously, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicted that the price of the leading cryptocurrency would rise above $100,000 due to the U.S. Treasury’s buyback of government bonds.
