United States spot Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have witnessed their largest day of joint outflows on record, with a total of $326 million being shed from the 10 funds on March 19.
As of March 19, Grayscale reported that its&nbsp;Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) had over $23.7 billion in assets under management. If its outflows continue at the current rate, it could be out of assets by as soon as late July.
Grayscale’s GBTC saw $443.5 million net outflows on the day, with BlackRock, Fidelity and Bitwise’s ETFs being the only funds to post net inflows, according to Farside Investors <a href="https://farside.co.uk/?p=1321" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a>.
Combined, the three funds generated $117.3 million in net inflows, the second-lowest inflow day for the nine new Bitcoin ETFs — excluding GBTC. 
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) boasted the day’s largest net inflows at $75.2 million, while the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) saw $39.6 million.
The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) attracted just $2.5 million in net inflows — its lowest day on record — excluding the days it witnessed zero new inflows.
