Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust Hit by $15B Outflows as Investors Flee to Cheaper Rivals
- Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has seen over $15 billion in outflows this year as investors exit for cheaper spot Bitcoin ETFs
- At current pace of 5,092 BTC per day, GBTC will run out of Bitcoin by July 8, however outflows are slowing
- Competing spot Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's fund are seeing massive inflows, making it hard for Grayscale to compete
- Outflows driven by GBTC's higher fees compared to competitors and collapsed crypto firms clawing back assets
- Despite outflows, Grayscale still has over $20 billion in assets and decent revenue; price rises help subsidize outflows
