黑石比特币ETF在不到100天的交易时间内转换GBTC

黑石的比特币ETF现在拥有比它的竞争对手,长期以来的灰色规模比特币信托基金,更多的比特币.

And, as K33 Research senior analyst Vetle Lunde pointed out 在Twitter上, "IBIT needed only 96 days to close GBTC's huge lead."

When U.S. markets closed on Tuesday, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) had 288,671 BTC compared to GBTC's 287,454. The flip happened after GBTC saw 5 million worth of outflows and IBIT saw 2 million worth of inflows on Tuesday, according to 玻璃.

Grayscale has more recently announced that Sonnenshein will be 退出 in August, although it didn't make any mention of GBTC.
