Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is still experiencing investor withdrawals, with an additional $20.8 million pulled out on Monday, as reported by Farside Investors.
Since converting to an exchange-traded fund (ETF) in January, the total net outflows have exceeded $20 billion.
Although the withdrawal rate has slowed, the first $10 billion was withdrawn within the initial two months, while the next $10 billion took over six months to leave the fund. GBTC continues to face pressure as its Bitcoin holdings have dropped to around 222,170 BTC, valued at roughly $12.8 billion.
In contrast to GBTC’s losses, the broader US spot Bitcoin ETF market remains stable, with $12.8 million in net capital flowing into these funds on Monday.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust saw a revival in activity, gaining $15.8 million, while other major ETFs from Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck each recorded about $5 million in inflows.
Grayscale’s own low-cost Bitcoin ETF saw modest gains, attracting $2.8 million by the day’s end, while other funds remained stagnant.
