The global crypto market has jumped 6.7% in the last 24 hours after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause in tariffs, giving a moment of relief for the investors. Despite this crypto market is still struggling in the ETF sector as U.S listed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products continue to see outflows.

Bitcoin ETF Outflows Cross $1 Billion

Since March 28, Bitcoin ETFs have faced continuous outflows, with total outflows now exceeding $1.03 billion. The only break came on April 2, when an inflow of $218.1 million occurred due to optimism around Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement.

According to Farside data, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded their fifth straight day of outflows on April 9, losing $127.2 million. Leading the outflow charge was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) saw one of the largest sell-offs of $89.7 million, followed by Grayscale (GBTC) with $33.8 million in outflow. 

The increasing outflow from ETFs has led experts to believe that ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions are pushing investors to liquidate assets, including crypto ETFs, in favor of holding cash.
