Experts Reveal Top Reaons Behind Bitcoin Price Crash ; How Low Can BTC Price Drop ?
After Bitcoin’s nearly 7% drop below $44,000, economist Peter Schiff said on X (previously Twitter) that Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) may not survive. Schiff questioned GBTC’s capacity to advertise aggressively amid declining Bitcoin prices. Now the skepticism coincides with the rise of rival, lower-fee Bitcoin ETFs, prompting fears about GBTC shareholder abandonment. Here’s what it all means for you.
The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs by Bitwise Invest, Fidelity, and BlackRock in the U.S. attracted $625.8 million in net inflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust lost $95 million, raising issues about investor preferences and GBTC’s exorbitant fees. A large Bitcoin transfer from GBTC to a Coinbase Prime deposit address suggests investor assets may be shifting to other ETFs or regular selling.
Scaramucci: Grayscale ETF Sales Fueled Bitcoin Decline
On the other side, despite Bitcoin’s 8% dip to $42,500 after ETF approval, some market analysts have labeled the launch a failure. Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, points to substantial GBTC share sales as a key contributor.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Scaramucci highlighted a trend of significant Grayscale selling, with holders converting their shares from a trust to an ETF format. The recent SEC approval of ETFs led many to shift to these lower-fee alternatives, resulting in sell-offs to realize losses.
Having said that, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, founded in 2013, had a record First-Day turnover of $2.3 billion on Thursday, a milestone for ETFs. Following losses, trust stockholders sought cheaper alternatives, lowering Bitcoin prices below $43,000 on Friday. GBTC shares fell 5.2% to $38.58 on Friday, compared to Bitcoin’s over 160% rise in the previous year.
