Grayscale BTC Witnessed Major Outflow, Huge Sell-Off Among Investors Explained
Reacting to the report, Will Canny, a report from CoinDesk, explained that GBTC was previously praised as a trailblazing way to gain exposure to Bitcoin; its liquidity issues and premium/discount swings have driven many investors to look for other solutions that provide more transparency and liquidity.
Canny also anticipated that as more companies enter the market and as advancements in product design and structure occur, competition across Bitcoin ETF providers will increase. JP Morgan’s analysis insists on the liquidity benefits of GBTC versus BlackRock and Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETFs.
It says that liquidity will remain a crucial factor influencing investor preferences and propelling the adoption of cutting-edge investment vehicles as the bitcoin market develops and matures. Grayscale BTC has witnessed a major outflow from the day it had it was converted to spot BTC ETF – slightly after the SEC’s approval of spot BTC ETFs for a few companies.

Vice President of ETFs Speaks, Disagrees with JPMorgan Report
Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the freelance popular market analyst, says that the reason for Grayscale’s decision goes beyond giving customers a lower fee, but because Fidelity and BlackRock ETFs are already taking advantage of the market as regards the two liquidity metrics. Meanwhile, GBTC value has risen four times more than Fidelity and BlackRock ETFs.
The price of ETF deviation from the BlackRock and Fidelity NAV spot BTC ETFs from last week shows that the GLD Gold ETF is experiencing a major improvement in liquidity. The GBTC ETF deviations, on the other hand, have maintained a higher position, hence working towards a lower liquidity.
Louis Hsu and the vice president of ETFs, Grayscale, while reacting to the latest report by JPMorgan, disagreed with the report, saying that the most popularly used ETF liquidity tracking tool matrix is the number of dollars traded. Hsu also stated that it is obvious that GBTC has been the leader when it comes to the liquidity market from the day the spot BTC ETF was launched.
