Bitcoin ETFs Pull $2B in April, Marking Highest Inflows of 2026

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) closed April with strong inflows as prices rose steadily through the month. Funds attracted nearly $2 billion, the highest monthly total this year, supported by Bitcoin’s strongest monthly increase since April last year.

Bitcoin ETFs post near-$2 billion inflow in April

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.97 billion in April inflows, up from $1.37 billion in March. The month marked the strongest period for ETF inflows in 2026.

The inflows helped offset earlier outflows in January and February, bringing total net inflows for the year to $1.47 billion. Since launch, cumulative inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have reached over $58 billion.

Bitcoin prices rose about 12% during April, which supported increased fund activity across markets. The gain was the largest monthly increase since April 2025, when Bitcoin climbed above 14%.

Late in the month, ETFs recorded $490 million in outflows across three trading days, but the withdrawals did not reverse the broader monthly gains.

Ether, XRP and Solana ETFs show mixed results

Ether ETFs reported $356 million in inflows during April, their first positive month since October 2025. Even so, Ether funds still show $413 million in net outflows for 2026.

Cumulative inflows into Ether ETFs stand at $11.9 billion since their launch period. April’s activity helped reduce earlier losses recorded this year.

XRP ETFs attracted $81.6 million in April inflows, their strongest monthly total since December 2025. Total inflows for XRP ETFs reached $124 million during the first four months of 2026. Cumulative inflows into XRP funds are approximately $1.3 billion, with April contributing to steady growth.

Solana ETFs recorded $38.7 million in inflows during April, the lowest monthly intake so far. Total cumulative inflows into Solana ETFs have reached about $1 billion.

Dogecoin ETFs added $2 million in April inflows, contributing to overall fund activity. These inflows represent about 21% of total cumulative inflows of $9.6 million.

Fund-by-fund performance and institutional watchpoint

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF led April inflows with about $2 billion added during the month, making it the strongest contributor among Bitcoin ETFs.

Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF recorded $280 million in outflows during April, making it the largest source of withdrawals among the funds.

Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust ETF launched on April 8 and attracted $194 million in inflows. The fund did not record any daily outflows during the month.

April data comes ahead of the 13F filing period scheduled in May. During this period, institutions will disclose their ETF holdings for the first quarter of 2026.
