<p>There are a few factors that might have contributed to Grayscale’s ongoing outflows from the past few months, and one of the reasons could have been the high fees of the crypto product compared to other ETFs.</p> 
<p>GBTC’s fee is reportedly set at 1.5% and the rest of the fees for other BTC ETFs are below 1%, with the cheapest one being Franklin Templeton with a 0.19% fee.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, as investors’ attention has been highly focused on the Federal Reserve’s decision regarding he interest rate, Bitcoin’s price dropped to its lowest levels in more than two months as May kicked off.</p> 
<p>BTC’s price dipped to a little above $56,500, ahead of making a comeback, marking the debut of <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/sell-in-may-and-go-away-bitcoins-seasonality-kicks-off-as-rates-remain-unchanged/">Bitcoin’s seasonality</a>.</p> 
<p>Following a few days of extreme volatility, Bitcoin has been making headlines recently, especially due to the important subject of privacy, which has been addressed by <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/edward-snowdens-final-warning-to-bitcoin-devs-privacy-is-required-at-protocol-level/">Edward Snowden</a> more than once and by the “Bitcoin Senator” Cynthia Lummis.</p> 
<p>On X, she expressed her <a href="https://twitter.com/SenLummis/status/1785695683514630367" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">concerns</a> regarding the Biden administration criminalizing core tenants of the Bitcoin network and DeFi.</p>
