Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. went back in the green, seeing fresh inflows just ahead of Trump’s new “Liberation Day” tariffs. According to SoSoValue data , on April 2, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $220.76 million in net inflows while snapping a 3-day losing streak where over $320 million had flowed out. Most of the inflows went into ARK 21Shares’ ARKB and Fidelity’s FBTC, which brought in $130.15 million and $118.79 million, respectively, both of which had seen outflows the previous day. Grayscale’s mini Bitcoin Trust and Bitwise’s BITB also added to the gains with $34.28 million and $33.38 million in inflows. Other players like Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, VanEck’s HODL, and Valkyrie’s BRRR saw more modest inflows of $10.01 million, $47.33 million, and $2.69 million. Interestingly, BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest asset manager in terms of net assets held, bucked the trend with $115.87 million in net redemptions, its first outflow in the last three weeks. Total trading volume across these ETFs hit $2.51 billion on the day, and since their launch, they’ve brought in a total of $36.24 billion in net inflows.

The recovery seemed to coincide with Trump’s big tariff announcement , which some analysts believe might actually help Bitcoin in the long run . Still, Trump’s aggressive new tariffs, starting with a flat 10% on all imports and even higher for some key trading partners, shook up both the crypto and traditional markets. According to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, while the tariffs spooked markets a bit, things should be fine as long as Bitcoin holds above $76,500 through U.S. tax day on April 15. He also warned traders to stay alert and not get “chopped up” by the market’s wild swings. At press time, Bitcoin ( BTC ) was down 1.1% over the past day, exchanging hands at $83,242 per coin.
