<p>Investors have withdrawn more than $579 Million from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE: GBTC) during the initial days of its trading as an ETF, which won the approval of the US Securities and Exchange Commission to convert from a trust.</p> 
<p>It is a significant contrast from the other nine spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have collectively attracted almost $1.4 Billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said that this is the first time they had a clear view of GBTC flows due to the ETF conversion, and investors might be profit-taking.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>While the fund’s shares worth more than $2.3 Billion had been traded on its first day, the outflows indicate that a part of the volume was a result of selling.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Zach Pandl, Grayscale’s managing director of research, said that total net inflows into Bitcoin investment products are what matters for prices, not substitution from one product to another.&nbsp;</p>

<p>BlackRock’s IBIT has pulled in almost $500 Million in its first two trading days. Seyffart said that plenty of this capital would revert to other Bitcoin exposures, and some investors are moving to cheaper spot Bitcoin ETFs.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The owner of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), Grayscale, moved an additional 9,000 bitcoins to an exchange on Tuesday. This occurs because since the product was changed to a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), there has been a net selling of it.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>According to information from Arkham Intelligence, the coins moved in batches of 1,000 just after 14:30 UTC, which is when the U.S. stock market restarted after the three-day weekend.</p> 
<p>Following the introduction of a spot ETF by US regulators last week, investors have been selling Grayscale’s GBTC for a variety of reasons, resulting in net outflows. The removal of the net asset value discount and reduced costs at rival exchange-traded funds are among the causes.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The outflows have led to Grayscale selling 2,000 bitcoins last week. Currently, the number has risen to 11,000, which has taken GBTC’s holdings below 610,000 BTC.</p>
