- US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their highest monthly inflows of 2026 in April, drawing $1.97 billion.
- BlackRock’s IBIT ETF led the gains with around $2 billion in inflows, while Grayscale’s GBTC saw outflows.
- Ether ETFs posted their first positive monthly flows since October 2025, while other altcoin funds also saw gains.
US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds concluded April with substantial inflows, fueled by a market-wide rally for the cryptocurrency. The month’s inflows of $1.97 billion, according to SoSoValue data, mark the highest for the year and reversed earlier outflows.
Consequently, net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs in 2026 now stand at roughly $1.47 billion. Cumulative net inflows since launch have surpassed $58 billion.
April’s inflows accompanied a 12% rise in Bitcoin’s price, its strongest monthly gain since April 2025, according to CryptoRank. This data precedes the upcoming 13F filing season, when institutions will disclose their Q1 2026 crypto ETF holdings.
However, late-month redemptions of about $490 million were not enough to offset the overall positive trend. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) was the dominant driver, bringing around $2 billion in net inflows.
Meanwhile, Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) recorded net outflows of roughly $280 million. The newly launched Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) generated around $194 million in April inflows.
The positive trend extended to some altcoin ETFs. Ether funds logged their first monthly inflow since October 2025, at $356 million, according to SoSoValue.
Still, Ether ETFs remain in negative territory for 2026, with about $413 million in net outflows year to date. XRP funds also surged in April, logging $81.6 million of inflows.
Similarly, Dogecoin ETFs rallied with $2 million of inflows. Solana ETFs saw $38.7 million in April inflows, their smallest monthly total on record.
