Crypto Morning Daily

As of April 20, 2026, crypto ETFs showed broadly positive short-term performance across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP products, while Solana-linked ETFs lagged on a daily basis, with flows continuing to diverge significantly by issuer. Bitcoin ETFs gained approximately +2.8% to +2.83% over 1 day and +5.6% to +5.7% over 1 week, with +3.8% to +4.0% over 1 month, though still down ~-19% over 3 months and ~-27% over 6 months. Flows remained highly concentrated, led by IBIT with +$81.7M daily, +$759.7M weekly, and +$1.14B monthly inflows, bringing +$2.16B YTD and +$24.68B over 1 year, while FBTC and GBTC continued to see outflows of -$36.0M and -$22.3M daily, respectively, and -$1.34B and -$974.7M YTD, highlighting continued consolidation into leading products.

Ethereum ETFs outperformed Bitcoin on a relative basis in the short term, with spot products gaining approximately +3.0% to +3.1% daily and +7.3% to +7.6% weekly, alongside +4.6% to +4.8% monthly returns, though still down ~-26% over 3 months and ~-36% over 6 months. Leveraged exposure amplified moves, with the 2x Ether ETF up +5.9% daily and +14.8% weekly but showing deeper drawdowns of -54.9% (3M) and -71.8% (6M). Flow trends were mixed: ETHA saw +$30.5M daily and +$122.1M weekly inflows, but -$789.7M YTD, while ETHE and FETH continued to experience outflows of -$16.7M daily (ETHE) and -$377.0M YTD (FETH), indicating uneven investor positioning across issuers despite improving price momentum.

XRP ETFs posted solid short-term gains, rising approximately +1.3% to +1.6% daily and +9.5% to +10.1% weekly, though still down ~-2.7% to -3.0% over 1 month and ~-28% over 3 months. Flows were modest but positive in select products, with XRPZ attracting +$3.2M daily and +$18.0M weekly inflows, contributing to +$102.4M YTD, while other products showed limited or negative flow momentum, suggesting early-stage but uneven adoption across the category.

In contrast, Solana ETFs underperformed on a daily basis, declining approximately -0.8% to -2.1%, despite maintaining +6.0% to +12.1% weekly gains. Monthly and longer-term performance remained weak, with declines of -5.1% to -14.0% over 1 month, ~-37% to -69% over 3 months, and as much as -84.2% over 6 months for leveraged exposure. Flow activity was mixed, with BSOL seeing +$15.5M daily and +$30.2M weekly inflows and +$185.4M YTD, while other products such as SSK and GSOL experienced outflows or muted demand, reflecting less consistent investor conviction relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

Overall, the ETF landscape reflects strong short-term price recovery across major crypto assets (+1.3% to +3.1% daily, +5.6% to +10.1% weekly), with Ethereum showing relative strength, Bitcoin maintaining dominant and concentrated inflows, XRP gaining traction with moderate inflows, and Solana lagging in both performance and consistency of flows, pointing to a market still consolidating around core institutional exposures.
