Spot Bitcoin ETFs see $772M outflow as investors prepare for tariff-driven inflation

Bitcoin ( BTC ) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) faced significant pressure amid uncertainty caused by the ongoing global trade war. Between March 28 and April 8, these ETFs experienced net outflows totaling $595 million, according to Farside Investors data. Notably, even after most US import tariffs were temporarily lifted on April 9, the funds still recorded an additional $127 million in net outflows. This situation has left traders questioning the reasons behind the continued outflows and why Bitcoin's rally to $82,000 on April 9 failed to boost confidence among ETF investors.

"What you can clearly observe is that liquidity on the credit side has dried up," Lazard Asset Management global fixed income co-head Michael Weidner told Reuters. Essentially, investors are shifting toward safer assets like government bonds and cash holdings, a trend that could ultimately lead to a credit crunch. A credit crunch is a sharp decline in loan availability, leading to reduced business investment and consumer spending. It can happen regardless of US Treasury yields because heightened borrower risk perceptions may independently restrict credit supply. RW Baird strategist Ross Mayfield noted that even if the US Federal Reserve decides to cut interest rates in an effort to stabilize turbulent markets, any relief for companies might be short-lived. Mayfield reportedly stated: "In a stagflationary environment from tariffs, you'll see both investment grade and high yield corporate borrowers struggle as their costs of debt rise." Despite the 10-year US Treasury yield remaining flat compared to the previous month, investor appetite for corporate debt remains weak. ICE Bank of America Corporate Index option-adjusted spread.

Corporate bond spreads measure the difference in interest rates between corporate bonds and government bonds, reflecting the additional risk investors take when lending to companies.

This sentiment also explains why the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March—at 2.8%, its slowest annual increase in four years—failed to positively impact stock markets. "This is the last clean print we're going to see before we get those tariff-induced inflation increases,” Joe Brusuelas, RSM chief economist, told Yahoo Finance. Traders appear to be waiting for stabilization in the corporate bond market before regaining confidence in Bitcoin ETF inflows. As long as recession risks remain elevated, investors will likely favor safer assets such as government bonds and cash holdings. Breaking this correlation would require a shift in perception toward Bitcoin’s fixed monetary policy and censorship resistance. However, potential catalysts for such a change remain unclear and could take months or even years.
