Grayscale Investments celebrates its first day of net positive inflows for the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) following nearly four months of continuous outflows since its conversion to a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in January.

Impact on Bitcoin Price Speculation

The crypto community speculates on how this shift in events might impact Bitcoin's price. Analysts suggest that the decrease in GBTC sell pressure could lead to an increase in demand, especially as ETFs collectively buy more BTC than miners can create.

Predictions range from Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs to the end of the halving chop and a subsequent rise to six-figure prices.

Factors Contributing to Grayscale's Outflows

Several factors have contributed to Grayscale's ongoing outflows, including comparatively high management fees and significant sales of GBTC shares by bankrupt crypto firms.
