<p>The trio of spot ETFs from Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity remains at the top of trading activity. However, after Monday’s session, it was noted that Grayscale’s GBTC fund experienced over $15 billion in total outflows since its launch in January. When measured in Bitcoin, the GBTC fund, which Grayscale transformed into a spot Bitcoin ETF two months back after operating as a trust for ten years, has seen a decline of 46%. This reduction brought its holdings from approximately 619,000 BTC down to 333,619 BTC, valued at $22 billion, according to CoinGlass data.</p>

<p>On Monday, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on spot <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/is-now-the-right-time-to-invest-in-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin </a>experienced withdrawals as Bitcoin fell below the $67,000 mark. Investment analysis from Farside highlighted that Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF, known as GBTC, witnessed a notable increase in outflows, exceeding $300 million on the same day. The total net withdrawals from Bitcoin spot ETFs amounted to $85.84 million, largely due to the substantial withdrawals from GBTC. Conversely, BlackRock’s ETF, IBIT, saw a net addition of $165 million, while Fidelity’s ETF, FBTC, enjoyed a net increase of $43.99 million.</p>

<p>As the Bitcoin halving event nears, concerns grow about April’s ETF inflows’ stability. However, analysts believe that a drop in Bitcoin might not harm ETF figures, anticipating a rise in purchases as prices drop. This decrease may trigger a price rebound in the coming weeks, attracting interest from both institutional and retail investors.</p>
