According to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart's latest statistics, the Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net outflow of $140 million on Friday, March 1st, while Grayscale's GBTC saw an outflow of $492 million.

The tradition of ringing the bell to open and close trading on the New York Stock Exchange, including the NYSE and NASDAQ, has a history of over a century. Being invited to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony is not only a symbol of business success but also increases exposure. According to a report by Central News Agency, in July last year, Chunghwa Telecom was invited to ring the closing bell at the NYSE to celebrate its 20th anniversary of listing in the U.S., led by Chairman Shui-Yi Kuo.

According to statistics from HODL15Capital, IBIT has surpassed the largest silver ETF SLV, ranking third among commodity ETFs, while Fidelity's FBTC, Ark's ARKB, and Bitwise's BITB rank fifth, ninth, and eleventh, respectively.
