Bitcoin ETFs Pull in $251M as Goldman Sachs Emerges Top XRP ETF Holder

Institutional Money Continues Flowing Into Bitcoin Funds Despite Price Dip

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds continued attracting capital this week, bringing in $251 million in new inflows on Tuesday, even as the cryptocurrency briefly slipped below the $70,000 mark.

Data from SoSoValue shows the latest inflows followed $167 million added on Monday, extending a strong run for crypto investment products in March.

With the latest figures, total inflows for the month have climbed to $1.56 billion, reversing earlier selling pressure that saw $576.6 million in outflows.

The renewed investment demand arrived despite a short-term price pullback. According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin briefly dropped to $69,400 before stabilizing near $69,810, leaving the asset down 0.7% over the past 24 hours.

Beyond Bitcoin funds, the picture across other crypto ETFs remained uneven.

Investment products tied to Ether recorded $12.6 million in inflows, while funds tracking Solana saw no new capital.

Funds linked to XRP continued to see investor withdrawals, reporting $3.9 million in outflows, marking a fourth consecutive day of redemptions. However, the pace of selling slowed compared with larger withdrawals recorded the day before.

Over the past 30 days, XRP has declined about 5%, trading near $1.38, according to CoinGecko.

Retail Investors Dominate XRP ETF Demand

Institutional Ownership Remains Limited

Ownership data also reveals a striking difference between various crypto ETFs.

Only 15.9% of XRP ETF assets under management appear in 13F institutional filings, indicating a strong retail investor presence.

By comparison:

• 48.8% of Solana ETF assets are reported in institutional filings

• 24% of Bitcoin ETF assets appear in filings

• 27% of Ether ETF assets are disclosed through similar reports

The figures suggest Bitcoin and Ether ETFs occupy a middle ground between institutional and retail investors, while XRP funds remain largely driven by individual market participants.
