Grayscale Bitcoin Trust Sees Outflows

While BlackRock and Fidelity are basking in their inflow glory, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) experienced significant outflows in January, with approximately $5.7 billion exiting the fund. It’s a surprising turn of events, leaving experts like Nate Geraci, president of investment advisory firm ETF Store, shocked and exclaiming, “Never thought I’d see the day!”

But Wait, There’s More!

Geraci believes that BlackRock and Fidelity’s ETFs have firmly established themselves as the leaders in this race. However, he also recognizes the potential of other emerging players in the market, specifically mentioning the joint ETF from ARK Invest and 21 Shares and Bitwise’s fund. While these two currently manage assets under $650 million, Geraci predicts they will become part of a “strong middle class” and expects them to reach $1 billion in assets in the near future.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs on a Winning Streak

The good news keeps on coming for Bitcoin ETFs! U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded six consecutive days of positive net inflows, amounting to nearly $715 million. The majority of these inflows were driven by BlackRock and Fidelity’s funds, solidifying their positions as frontrunners in the market.

Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, commended these nine ETFs (excluding GBTC) for their remarkable resilience. Despite a dip in the previous week, they bounced back, defying typical post-hype decline. This ongoing popularity and potential for long-term growth are definitely noteworthy.

The Future of Bitcoin ETFs

Aurelie Barthere, Principal Research Analyst at Nansen, believes that lower-fee ETFs will attract more inflows in the short term. The competitive landscape among Bitcoin spot ETF providers will be shaped by factors such as reputation, size, existing footprint, and management fees. According to Barthere, these factors will determine the leaders in the market.

Here’s a breakdown of the fees charged by some of the issuers:

• BlackRock (iShares ETF): 0.12% for the first 12 months or until the first $5 billion in assets under management, then 0.25%
• ARK Invest: 0.21%
• VanEck: 0.25%
• Bitwise: 0.20%
