Bitcoin Spot ETF: GBTC Redemption Surge in Six Trading Days
According to Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, among all Bitcoin spot ETF products, there has been a total inflow of $1148.7 million in the past six trading days. If we exclude the outflow from GBTC, the inflow amounts to $3955.6 million. There were two days with net outflows during this period.
Because the redemption of Bitcoin assets from GBTC has been seen as a key factor causing the price decline, many people believe that the Bitcoin price will only stabilize or continue to decline until the selling pressure of GBTC subsides.

How long until GBTC sells out?
Ignoring the lower redemption level on the first day, the average outflow from the second to the sixth day was $542.36 million. Currently, GBTC's asset value is $2294.32 million, and if the average redemption level is maintained, there will be at least 42.3 trading days remaining. In other words, it is not until late March that the selling pressure may cease.
This aligns with the belief of many that there will be a significant correction in the first quarter.
