Grayscale continues to sell BTC

Now as the global leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin is striving to hold above the $41,000 level and has been making moves showing high volatility, crypto whales are taking advantage of these ups and downs to make profitable trades.

Besides, Grayscale continues to sell Bitcoin, sending it out to centralized exchanges, and its customers continue to exit their Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). According to recent data presented by Chinese crypto blogger and journalist Colin Wu, on Thursday, Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF faced an outflow of $671 million in BTC with a daily turnover totaling $656 million.

This was the biggest net outflow for this Bitcoin ETF made within a single day. By now, the overall outflows from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust have topped $5.46 billion worth of Bitcoin. The fund still holds a whopping $20 billion worth of Bitcoin.
