Grayscale's GBTC outflows persist, exerting pressure on Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. Spot Bitcoin ETFs witnessed net outflows yesterday, breaking a streak of four consecutive days of inflows.

Grayscale's GBTC Leads Single-Day Outflow Surge in Spot Bitcoin ETFs, Countered by Inflows into Competing Funds

Grayscale's GBTC spot ETF experienced a substantial single-day net outflow exceeding $303 million, contributing significantly to the overall trend.

Conversely, other Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows during the same period. Bitwise Bitcoin ETF led with net inflows surpassing $40 million, followed by BlackTock's iShares Bitcoin Trust with net inflows exceeding $21 million.

The collective impact resulted in a total net outflow of approximately $224 million in spot Bitcoin ETFs, reflecting a notable divergence in investor sentiment.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Dominates Inflows as Overall Interest Remains Strong Despite Declining Volumes

Despite recent outflows, nearly $1 billion flowed into US-based Bitcoin ETFs over the past week, with BlackRock's product absorbing the majority of inflows. This suggests sustained investor interest in Bitcoin-focused investment vehicles.

However, cumulative spot Bitcoin ETF volumes have been steadily declining since peaking in early March, indicating shifting dynamics influenced by regulatory changes, market sentiment, and macroeconomic conditions.
