Bitcoin ETFs and GBTC Outflows

The recent rise in Bitcoin's price can be attributed to the success of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen significant demand and inflows. The selling pressure caused by GBTC outflows has decreased, leading to Bitcoin's price running again. Inflows are now dominating the market, with BlackRock's ETF exceeding $4 billion in assets under management, and Fidelity's ETF surpassing $3 billion in the first month of trading. However, there is a possibility of another large GBTC selling event if Genesis receives approval to sell nearly 36 million GBTC shares, which could put pressure on Bitcoin's price once again.
