Tuttle Capital has filed for an XRP Income Blast ETF, the latest sign that Wall Street’s appetite for XRP exposure is growing faster than the market seems to notice.
The filing came as US spot XRP ETFs quietly pulled in more than $75 million in April — drawing almost no attention while traders focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Institutions Accumulate With Little Noise
Data from SoSoValue shows US spot XRP ETFs now collectively hold $1.08 billion — equal to 1.20% of the token’s total supply. Inflows have been steady and one-sided. Since April 9, meaningful outflows have not materialized, with only a minor $661,000 dip recorded across the entire period.
In a single day, ETFs brought in $3.89 million, with the Franklin Templeton XRP ETF — trading under the ticker XRPZ — leading that charge. The consistency of these flows points to long-term positioning by institutional buyers rather than the short-burst trading typical of retail-driven markets.
💸 XRP Ledger saw 34.94M $XRP in total exchange outflows, the 6th largest 24-hour period of the year. Historically, these large outflow days have corresponded with upcoming bullish price action.

One market observer noted on social media that the $75 million pulled in during April flew under the radar while attention stayed locked on bigger tokens. The implication: that kind of gap rarely holds.
Whale Moves Dominate On-Chain Activity
On the blockchain side, the XRP Ledger recorded 34.94 million XRP leaving exchanges in a single 24-hour window — the sixth-largest daily outflow of 2026, according to data from Santiment.
Large outflow events like this have historically preceded price increases, since tokens exiting exchanges tend to reduce the amount immediately available for selling.
This isn’t retail traffic. Large holders accounted for 94% of recent outflows on Binance. That means nearly all of the movement was driven by wallets holding significant amounts of XRP.
At the same time, whale transfers back into Binance climbed to around 3,000 transactions on April 23 and 24, after dropping close to zero in the days prior. Reports indicate this kind of bounce-back suggests active repositioning — not distribution.
Big players appear to be moving XRP around with purpose. What that purpose is remains open to interpretation, but the scale and speed of the activity stands out.
ETF demand and on-chain signals are picking up, but XRP isn’t following through. The price keeps failing at resistance and easing back toward $1.43, staying slightly above the $1.40 support zone.
