Grayscale Bitcoin Trust

<div class="cryptonews">
 <p class="is-style-lead">Analysts at JPMorgan have indicated a potential easing in the selling pressure on Bitcoin, as the bulk of profit-taking from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) appears to be concluding.</p>
 <p>In a market report released on Jan. 25, a team led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, JPMorgan’s market strategy managing director,”GBTC profit taking has largely happened already.” The assessment suggests that the primary factors influencing Bitcoin’s price fluctuations, specifically those linked to GBTC, might be diminishing.</p>
 <p>Grayscale’s fund has been trading below its net asset value since early 2021. Analysts attribute the $4.3 billion in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="outflows" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/outflows.html">outflows</a> since its Jan. 11 conversion to an ETF to investors cashing in on earlier GBTC investments. This is seen as a key factor in Bitcoin’s near 20% price fall, with its value now below $40,000, coinciding with the introduction of several US Bitcoin ETFs.</p>
 <p>Notably, on Jan. 24, these funds experienced a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="record" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/record.html">record</a> high in daily net <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="outflows" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/outflows.html">outflows</a>, reaching $158 million, as <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="report" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/report.html">report</a>ed by BitMEX research data. This was the highest single-day net <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="outflow" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/outflow.html">outflow</a> since these ETFs began trading.</p>

 <p>Amidst these developments, JPMorgan analysts have identified BlackRock and Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETFs as emerging competitors to GBTC in the space. These funds have rapidly amassed considerable assets under management, with BlackRock and Fidelity’s respective totals standing at $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion.</p>
 <p>On Jan. 24, BlackRock’s ETF witnessed its lowest inflow since inception, adding only 1,663 BTC to its holdings, which now amount to approximately 45,700 BTC. In contrast, Fidelity’s ETF experienced an addition of 3,170 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 41,319 BTC.</p>
