Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and Market Reactions
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) reported a rare inflow day of $28.2 million, its seventh since converting to a spot ETF in January. Despite this positive inflow, GBTC has faced net outflows totalling over $17.8 billion. The outflows have been attributed to its high management fee of 1.5% and a narrowed discount, prompting many investors to exit.
Initially, Grayscale’s Bitcoin fund held 620,000 BTC when spot Bitcoin ETFs launched. However, this number has now decreased to 285,481 BTC, equivalent to $20.2 billion, as per the Apollo Bitcoin Tracker.
ETF Market Dynamics and Bitcoin Price Surge
Despite critics’ claims that Bitcoin ETFs would see limited demand, recent data suggests otherwise. ETF Store president Nate Geraci countered these critics on X, highlighting the substantial inflows. He pointed out that many believed all potential retail investors had already bought Bitcoin, but the recent inflows challenge this notion.
Nearly $900mil into spot bitcoin ETFs today…That’s right. Close to $1bil inflows in a single day.Five months after launch.I was told several months ago that all of the “degen retail” investors who wanted to buy had already done so & there was nobody left.How can this be?

Conversely, some Bitcoin ETFs from issuers like Invesco Galaxy, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and Hashdex did not record any demand on June 4. This varied performance highlights the competitive and fluctuating nature of the Bitcoin ETF market.
