Bitcoin ETFs End 7-Day Outflow Streak as BTC Holds Strong at $85K

After a week-long drought, Bitcoin ETF inflows resumed on April 14, breaking a seven-day outflow streak amid easing geopolitical tensions. The change came as Bitcoin stabilized near $85,000, with investor sentiment buoyed by U.S. tariff rollbacks on Chinese tech imports. However, experts warn that mixed global macroeconomic signals could shape crypto’s near-term trajectory.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Modest Recovery After $878M Outflow Week

According to SoSoValue data, 12 U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.47 million in net inflows on Monday, reversing a multi-day trend that had seen $878 million in cumulative outflows. Leading the rebound was BlackRock’s IBIT, which posted $36.72 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC saw $35.25 million in outflows, nearly offsetting the net gain.

Daily ETF trading volumes across all issuers reached $2.16 billion, bringing total net inflows since launch to $35.36 billion. Though modest, this renewed inflow signals shifting sentiment among institutional investors following major economic policy developments.

Tariff Rollback Spurs Market Optimism, Boosts Bitcoin’s Weekly Gains

The ETF sentiment turnaround followed a weekend announcement from President Donald Trump, who rolled back tariffs on certain Chinese tech imports—including smartphones and computers. The exemption comes after weeks of tit-for-tat tariff escalations between the U.S. and China, which had triggered trade war fears.

The rollback provided a brief sigh of relief for risk assets. Bitcoin’s price stabilized at $85,692, up nearly 7% on the week, after finding strong support at $84,000. U.S. equities also closed higher on Monday, reflecting renewed investor optimism. However, the optimism may be short-lived. Trump later clarified that the exempted goods were only moved to a different tariff “bucket”, leaving the door open for future restrictions.

Ether ETFs Lag Behind, Macro Tensions Cloud Long-Term Outlook

In contrast to Bitcoin’s rebound, Ether ETFs recorded $5.98 million in outflows, marking the fifth consecutive day of losses. Fidelity’s FETH was hit hardest with $7.78 million in outflows, while 21Shares’ CETH helped cushion the impact with $1.8 million in inflows.

Still, global macroeconomic pressures remain a threat. Agne Linge, Head of Growth at decentralized bank WeFi, highlighted a significant development in Japan, where 30-year bond yields rose to 2.345%—a 30-year high. Rising yields could prompt Japan to raise interest rates, potentially draining liquidity from both traditional and crypto markets.

Conclusion: Inflows Reignite Bitcoin Optimism, but Risks Linger

The return of Bitcoin ETF inflows and BTC’s price stability at $85K have reignited cautious optimism in crypto markets. Yet, ongoing macro uncertainties—ranging from shifting U.S.-China trade dynamics to tightening monetary policies in Japan—suggest that the road ahead may still be bumpy.

While the U.S. remains the dominant force influencing global liquidity, institutional investors will be closely watching international developments for further cues. For now, Bitcoin has proven its resilience, but sustained growth will depend on broader economic support.
