"Grayscale Sell-Off Sparks Bitcoin Price Volatility and ETF Shift"
TL;DR Summary
FTX's bankruptcy estate sold about $1 billion worth of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares, explaining a significant portion of the recent outflow from the fund following its conversion into an exchange-traded fund. The exodus occurred after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the trading of spot bitcoin ETFs, with FTX's sale of 22 million shares contributing to the substantial outflow. Despite high expectations for bitcoin's price following the ETF approval, it has instead fallen. With FTX's substantial holdings now sold, the selling pressure on GBTC may ease.
