Bitcoin Price Holds $78K as Bitcoin ETFs Hit $996M and XRP Funds Break Records

Bitcoin’s price is hovering near $78,000, but the bigger shift is happening in fund flows. After a relatively slow stretch, Bitcoin ETF activity has picked up again. This has brought in nearly $1 billion in a single week. At the same time, XRP-linked products are seeing renewed interest. The numbers suggest a return of institutional capital, though the trend is still developing.

XRP ETFs Hit $55M Record Week While Strategy Flips Green at $78K Bitcoin

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $996.38 million in net inflows between April 13 and 17. This marks their strongest weekly performance since mid-January, according to reports. Most of that came on Friday, which alone saw $663.9 million in inflows.

BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for a large share of the weekly total, with around $906 million in inflows. Total assets under management across Bitcoin ETFs have now crossed $101 billion. This shows a steady increase in participation.

Institutional demand picks up across Bitcoin and XRP

XRP ETFs also posted their strongest week of 2026, with $55.39 million in inflows and no recorded outflows during the period. This follows several weeks of weaker performance and comes alongside a broader recovery in crypto prices.

Cumulative inflows into XRP ETFs have now crossed $1.5 billion, with institutional exposure continuing to grow. Goldman Sachs holds about $153.8 million in XRP ETF positions. This makes it the largest disclosed US holder, based on filings.

Strategy, the firm known for its large Bitcoin holdings, has also moved back into unrealized profit as prices recovered. With an average purchase price of $75,577 per BTC, the company is now sitting on about $1.8 billion in gains.

At press time, BTC was trading at $75,058.51 following a slight correction. Over the past week, the asset recorded a rise of nearly 6%.

The recent inflows come as investors rotate back into risk assets, supported by easing geopolitical pressure and shifting expectations around interest rates. While it’s early to call this a sustained trend, current data points to improving sentiment and growing institutional adoption across both Bitcoin and XRP markets.
