On March 18, there was a significant movement of Bitcoin from the Grayscale spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This was the largest outflow since the fund’s conversion to a spot ETF on Jan. 11.
The outflows amounted to a whopping $640 million worth of Bitcoin. This event has garnered attention from the cryptocurrency community, as it signals a shift in investor sentiment towards Bitcoin. The cause of the outflows is not yet clear, but it could be due to a variety of factors, such as profit-taking or a lack of confidence in the cryptocurrency market.
On March 18, Grayscale, a digital asset management company that offers cryptocurrency investment trusts, experienced a total outflow of $642.5 million. This outflow represents a significant reduction in the amount of money invested in Grayscale’s cryptocurrency investment products, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others.
At the same time, Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF, which is the second-largest fund in the market, had a significant drop in inflows. On March 18, the fund received only $5.9 million in inflows, which is the lowest amount recorded since the fund’s inception. This drop in inflows suggests that investors are becoming more cautious and less interested in investing in Bitcoin through ETFs.
These two events led to a net outflow of $154.3 million from spot Bitcoin ETFs, which are investment products that track the price of Bitcoin on the open market. This means that investors withdrew more money from Bitcoin ETFs than they invested on March 18. This trend indicates that investors may be moving away from cryptocurrency investments, at least in the short term.
