According to a recent report, on June 20, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a massive outflow of $140 million, marking the fifth consecutive day of BTC outflows from these entities.
This data was shared by popular cryptocurrency journalist and blogger Colin Wu on his X account. Wu specified that Grayscale’s ETF, GBTC, lost $53.1 million in a single day. BlackRock’s ETF IBIT faced an outflow of $1.4791 million. However, currently, IBIT holds a total of $17.643 billion in BTC holdings.
Over the past five days, Grayscale has lost $232 million. This is still less than what has been lost by Fidelity (FBTC) over the same period of time — $413 million.
These outflows have been taking place while, this week, the world’s flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, gradually plunged by nearly 5.2% as it lost the $67,000 price level. At the time of this writing, BTC is changing hands at $63,880.
