Crypto ETF outflows deepen as geopolitical tensions fuel investor caution

Source: DojiDoji Data Terminal

Nearly $125 million was withdrawn from US-listed Bitcoin spot ETFs on Wednesday, signaling waning investor confidence as geopolitical uncertainty and technical resistance weigh on market momentum. Bitcoin traded around $70,950, barely holding above the 50-day EMA at $70,512, but failed to reclaim the $72,857 weekly high. A daily close below that moving average would confirm fading demand and open the door to deeper losses.

Institutional Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge to $600 Million Over Two Days

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold 721,000 BTC, valued at approximately $56.7 billion. The accumulation happened through two consecutive days of strong accumulation. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $358.1 million in net inflows on April 9, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which captured $269.3 million. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) added $53.3 million, while Morgan Stanley’s newly launched ETF attracted $14.9 million. Other contributors included Bitwise’s BITB ($11.7 million) and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB ($4.8 million). On April 10, ETFs recorded another $240 million in net inflows, with BlackRock's IBIT leading with $137.6 million and Fidelity's FBTC adding $78 million. This surge follows a brief retreat where nearly $250 million in outflows occurred over two sessions. The rapid return of capital underscores how quickly institutions can actually rotate into crypto exposure when risk conditions improve.

The pullback follows deteriorating risk sentiment, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropping to 14—deep in extreme fear territory. The US and Iran ceasefire remains uneasy, with Iran restricting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, Israel continuing strikes in Lebanon, and conflicting reports over a long-term peace framework. Former President Donald Trump warned of resumed attacks if a deal isn’t reached, keeping markets on edge.

Institutional ETF Inflows Reduce Available Bitcoin Supply

Available Bitcoin supply on exchanges is reduced when authorized participants purchase actual Bitcoin to back new shares generated by ETF inflows. On April 9, U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $358.1 million in net inflows, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with $269.3 million. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) contributed $53.3 million and Morgan Stanley’s MSBT added $14.9 million. Bitwise (BITB) added $11.7 million and Ark Invest (ARKB) added $4.8 million. Franklin Templeton (EZBC) and VanEck (HODL) each added over $2 million. Long-term holders expanded their holdings to 4,370,000 bitcoin as of April 7.

Bitcoin’s technical picture remains constrained. Despite a positive and expanding MACD histogram and an RSI of 56, price is still below the 100-day EMA at $75,511 and far from breaking the downtrend resistance drawn from its all-time high of $126,199. The 200-day EMA at $83,801 remains a distant target.

Bitcoin's ETF Surge May Signal a Late-Cycle Peak and a Potential Drop to $10,000

Bitcoin holders face a potential price drop toward $10,000. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone argues the asset's explosive run past $100,000 following the launch of U.S. spot ETFs in 2024 may be over. Bitcoin peaked at $126,200 in 2025, coinciding with the U.S. stock market's capitalization relative to GDP reaching its highest level since 1928. McGlone describes this as a "pump then dump" phase, where risky assets briefly outperform before dropping sharply. Bitcoin ETFs have underperformed gold and the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis, partly because Bitcoin is four times more volatile than the S&P 500. Gold rose around 135% since early 2024, while the iShares Bitcoin Trust by BlackRock boosted Bitcoin by about 50%, a return similar to the S&P 500. This divergence suggests capital may rotate away from high-risk crypto assets toward traditional safe havens. Bitcoin could decline along with other speculative assets, resulting in a price of $10,000.

Ethereum ETFs also saw outflows—nearly $19 million on Wednesday, adding to $65 million in withdrawals the day before. Ethereum traded near $2,180, just above the 50-day EMA at $2,152, but remains capped below the 100-day EMA at $2,364 and the 200-day EMA at $2,689. Momentum is neutral, with RSI at 56 and MACD in positive but consolidating territory. A close above $2,291 could allow a move toward $2,364, but failure would likely extend the downtrend.

BlackRock’s $40.67 Million Inflow Fails to Offset $124.25 Million in Bitcoin ETF Outflows

Institutional investors pulled $124.25 million from US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs on April 8. Fidelity’s FBTC led the retreat with $79.12 million in outflows, followed by Ark’s ARKB, which shed $74.7 million and Grayscale’s GBTC, which lost $11.1 million. BlackRock’s IBIT stood alone with $40.67 million in net inflows. The total net outflow indicates more investors are exiting spot Bitcoin ETFs than entering them, as BlackRock's inflow was insufficient to offset the broader selling.

XRP showed no improvement. Price stayed below $1.35, trapped under the 50-day EMA at $1.42 and the long-term descending trendline at $1.76. The 100-day and 200-day EMAs at $1.58 and $1.83, respectively, reinforce overhead resistance. MACD is flat and marginally positive, while RSI at 44 suggests only tentative stabilization. Cumulative inflows in XRP spot ETFs remained unchanged at $1.21 billion, with net assets at $950 million, reflecting muted investor interest.

Bitcoin network activity hits 8-year low despite institutional accumulation

Bullish bets on Bitcoin price targets are at risk. Bitcoin active addresses have dropped to an 8-year low, signaling reduced network engagement. This decline comes as geopolitical tensions, including the US-Iran conflict, weigh on the market. A YES share at 37¢ pays $1 if the asset hits $100,000 by December 31, 2026.

Cumulative outflows and weak technical structures across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP reflect declining investor appetite for crypto exposure through ETFs.

Short Liquidations Drive Crypto Market Cap Above $2.5 Trillion

Bitcoin touched $73,000 as the global crypto market cap rose 1.4% to $2.52 trillion. This rally was fueled by the forced buy-backs of assets by short sellers who were caught off guard by a sudden uptick in prices. Data from CoinGlass shows that over $250 million in short positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, compared to $95 million in long positions. The price movement began after reports that Iran was considering accepting Bitcoin for oil cargo ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
