<p class="is-style-lead">Crypto asset manager Grayscale continues to see a slowdown in outflows from its Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) spot exchange-traded fund (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/etf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETF</a>).</p> 
<p>In a Feb. 19 post on X, co-founder of ETF Institute Nate Geraci reported that the total outflow of funds from Grayscale’s GBTC since its conversion to a spot Bitcoin ETF has reached $7 billion.</p> 
<p>However, at the same time, the pace of asset outflows has slowed significantly, with Geraci noting that the “bleeding” may be close to stopping. </p>

<p>While January saw the largest share of outflows, with $5.64 billion leaving GBTC by the end of the month, but February saw only $1.37 billion in outflows.</p>

<p>However, further outflows could also occur after a judge recently signed an order allowing bankrupt crypto lender Genesis to sell off some of its investment from Grayscale.</p> 
<p>According to court documents, Genesis <a href="https://crypto.news/genesis-court-sell-billion-grayscale-gbtc-shares/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">owned</a> approximately $1.6 billion shares in GBTC, Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), and Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETCG).</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, in the first month since their launch on Jan. 11, the assets of nine leading spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded 200,000 BTC, or $9.5 billion. New Bitcoin ETFs rose to second place in the ranking of commodity exchange-traded funds in the United States by asset volume, becoming a more popular investment vehicle than silver ETFs.</p>
