So, the price drop. I had this question a couple of times now and was wondering if it's still because of Grayscale selling. In short, it is.
After their little talk with the SEC, Grayscale got an agreement on a ETF. The FTX bankruptcy estate has sold $1 billion worth of shares from Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust, causing significant outflows from the fund since its conversion to an ETF. The sale by FTX accounts for a large portion of the $2 billion in outflows from GBTC after its conversion. Grayscale's ETF fees are highlighted as a factor contributing to the outflows, as they are higher than those of competitors. The article also mentions the broader context of the growing fee war among cryptocurrency funds and the competition in the ETF space.
Yesterday (23rd of January 2024), the 3rd wave happened, which made BTC drop to from $41.6 to $38.5k, with a quick recovery to $40.5k. 12 hours later it's holding now around $39.5k.
So, only up from here?:) Show Less
