This market bloodbath has been exacerbated by massive selloffs from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shortly after the ETF approval. Interestingly, after the SEC’s ETF approval, Alameda, FTX’s sister firm, recently withdrew its case against Grayscale.However, data suggests that FTX also sold off 22 million GBTC shares, compounding the bearish pressure on Bitcoin and the broader market. Besides the FTX sale, institutional investors have continued to dump their GBTC shares, resulting in more BTC selloffs.Grayscale recently moved $1.3 billion to Coinbase, the custody service provider for GBTC. Amid an outflow of $2 billion from the ETF, a market analyst pointed out that the product’s 1.5% high fee and the absence of its massive discount have triggered the investor exodus.Meanwhile, as the onslaught endures, CryptoQuant data confirms that exchange net flows recently pivoted to bullish grounds, with deposits on exchanges currently lower than the weekly average. This pattern entails that the selloff campaign might be slowing down.#BTC $BTC $ETH $BNB

The cryptocurrency market's momentum drop we witnessed recently has a perfect explanation: Grayscale, a leading digital asset manager, reportedly decreased its Bitcoin holdings by approximately 52,227 BTC, equating to a staggering $2.14 billion. This sell-off is significant enough to dampen the bullish momentum that has persisted on the market recently.Grayscale's move came in the wake of the Bitcoin ETF's approval, which marked a watershed moment for cryptocurrency's mainstream financial integration. Alongside Grayscale, other major players like iShares by BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Fidelity and Bitwise hold substantial amounts of Bitcoin, collectively amounting to billions of dollars in value.BTC/USD Chart by TradingViewThe disposal of such a substantial sum by Grayscale could understandably cause a temporary setback in market sentiment. The market's reaction to this divestment has been swift, with Bitcoin prices reflecting the impact of the reduced holdings. However, it is essential to consider the broader market context.Bitcoin's price analysis indicates a dip, but it is crucial to note that the fundamental drivers of the bull market remain intact. The adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to grow, with institutional interest still high and new developments in blockchain technology emerging regularly. These factors suggest that the bullish trend may resume once the immediate impact of Grayscale's sell-off dissipates.Moreover, the cryptocurrency market has shown resilience in the face of similar challenges in the past. Bitcoin, in particular, has a history of bouncing back from corrections, bolstered by its limited supply and increasing demand, especially from institutional investors seeking alternative assets amid economic crises.Looking ahead, the market is likely poised for recovery, with the temporary bearish pressure likely to ease as the ecosystem adjusts to Grayscale's realignment. #TrendingTopic #BTC $BTC $BNB
