GBTC saw a $174.6 million outflow, an increase from Wednesday’s <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etf-net-inflow-slows-340-mln-what-next-btc-price/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$131.2 million outflow</a>. As a result, the net inflow for spot Bitcoin ETFs, excluding GBTC, was actually $652 million. 
BlackRock and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin ETFs now hold over $10.3 billion worth BTCs. The ETFs are buying 10k Bitcoin per day on top of the standard equilibrium and this is reflected in the price appreciation. However, the supply remains quite lower than the supply.
