GBTC

Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has transferred over 100K BTC to exchanges since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs on Jan. 11. The majority of these transfers were to Coinbase Prime for sale. GBTC reduced its management fee to 1.50%, still higher than competitors, leading to over $1 billion in daily AUM outflows. Bitcoin's price fell below $40,000, influenced by these sales and other factors. FTX's sale of 22 million GBTC shares did not slow the outflow.
