Grayscale’s GBTC Outpaces Rival Bitcoin ETFs in Revenue Despite Heavy Outflows
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) continues to dominate the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market, generating $268 million in implied revenue—surpassing the combined $211 million from all other 11 competing products. This revenue leadership persists despite GBTC experiencing a 70% decline in BTC holdings since its ETF conversion in January 2024.
The trust’s dominance comes at a premium, with GBTC maintaining higher fees than its competitors. Analysts note the irony of its revenue outperformance amid substantial outflows, suggesting institutional investors may still favor Grayscale’s established market position and liquidity profile over newer entrants.
Bitcoin’s Rally to $95K Driven by Institutional Adoption, Not Retail Interest
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley observes a striking divergence in Bitcoin’s market dynamics as the cryptocurrency approaches $95,000. Google searches for "Bitcoin" hover near historic lows—typically a proxy for retail investor interest—while institutional participation reaches new heights.
The current rally appears fueled by corporations, financial advisors, and even nation-states accumulating BTC. Public companies now hold 3.35% of Bitcoin’s total supply, with MicroStrategy’s early adoption paving the way for broader institutional acceptance. This fundamental shift suggests bitcoin is transitioning from speculative asset to institutional reserve.
Bitcoin Rebounds Toward $95K, Strengthening Digital Gold Narrative
Bitcoin has surged back to positive territory for 2025, approaching the $95,000 threshold after recovering from an 18% downturn. The cryptocurrency now shows a 1.5% year-to-date gain, positioning it between gold’s 24% rally and the Nasdaq 100’s 7% decline. This performance reinforces bitcoin’s evolving identity as "digital gold" rather than a Leveraged tech proxy.
The correlation between bitcoin and Gold has strengthened significantly, with their 30-day moving average coefficient reaching 0.70—substantially higher than the 0.53 correlation with the Nasdaq 100. Such metrics suggest investors increasingly treat bitcoin as a haven asset during market turbulence. Last week’s 10% price jump further validates this trend.
Investors Turn to Crypto as Safe Haven: $3.4 Billion Inflows Recorded
Cryptocurrency markets have witnessed a dramatic reversal in investor sentiment, with $3.4 billion flowing into digital asset products last week. This marks the largest single-week inflow on record, according to CoinShares data, and snaps a three-week streak of outflows totaling over $1.1 billion.
Bitcoin emerged as the primary beneficiary, bucking the broader altcoin trend. James Butterfill, CoinShares’ Head of Research, attributes the surge to growing macroeconomic concerns. "Tariff impacts on corporate earnings and the weakening U.S. dollar have driven institutional investors toward crypto as a hedge," he noted.
The inflows represent a stark turnaround from previous weeks, which saw $146 million, $795 million, and $240 million in outflows respectively. Market participants appear to be repositioning their portfolios amid escalating global trade tensions and currency volatility.
