Grayscale Investments’ transformed Grayscale <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/experts-2024-prediction-for-cryptocurrency-the-halving-effect/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> Trust (GBTC) continues to drag down the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. On the sixth trading day of the spot Bitcoin ETFs, there was an outflow of $590 million from GBTC. This outflow brought the total GBTC outflows to $2.8 billion.
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-the-selling-pressure-caused-by-gbtc-could-continue-for-at-least-another-3-5-weeks-strong">The Selling Pressure Caused by GBTC Could Continue for at Least Another 3-5 Weeks</h2>
Data shows that there were outflows of $95.1 million on the first day, $484.1 million on the second day, $594.4 million on the third day, $460.6 million on the fourth day, $582.3 million on the fifth day, and $590.4 million on the sixth day GBTC started trading on the exchange. According to data compiled by the research arm of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, BitMEX Research, there is an average daily outflow of approximately $550 million from GBTC.
Experts, assuming this average outflow continues, expect the fund to deplete in 9 weeks and the selling pressure on Bitcoin to end. It is important to note that this is an assumption. Moreover, the depletion of the fund is not a possibility. Therefore, the most realistic expectation is for the selling pressure GBTC exerts on Bitcoin to end within 3-5 weeks, with a moderately negative outlook.
