Top and Flop ETFs of the First Nine Months
We have highlighted three ETFs each from the best and worst-performing zones in the first nine months of 2024.
GBTC: Capital Flows And Network Data
Bitcoin's capital flow story is off to a rough start in September. Utilizing data from The Block and CoinShares, I suspect over $1 billion in investment capital has left BTC. Network metrics and election uncertainty potentially explain the capital flow problem. However, seasonality for BTC, and by extension GBTC, should bode well through Q4. As BTC-proxy, GBTC works and will likely rise with price appreciation in the coin. But that's the only real reason to hold GBTC at this juncture.
What GBTC Outflows Tell Me About Bitcoin And The Bitcoin ETF Landscape
In the last months, the GBTC ETF lost its crown as the largest Bitcoin ETF due to significant outflows and an uncompetitive 1.50% expense ratio. Grayscale may need to lower GBTC's fees to stay competitive. Until then, I don't recommend investing in GBTC. Bitcoin's recent price action suggests retail investors are accumulating and holding, awaiting institutional adoption. I base this assumption on ETF inflows and on-chain data.
BTC - A Future Top 3 Bitcoin ETF
The SEC approved 11 Bitcoin Spot ETFs on January 10th, 2024, leading to over $10bn of assets moving away from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) ETF emerged as the 6th largest Bitcoin ETF by AUM with the lowest expense ratio of 0.15%. As the market for spot Bitcoin ETFs matures, Grayscale Mini Trust is expected to grow and potentially become the third or fourth-largest Bitcoin ETF by AUM.
BTC Offers Retail Investors A Trading Opportunity
Grayscale launched BTC Mini Trust on July 30, 2024, carving out 10% of Bitcoin from GBTC with a lower fee ratio of 15bps. BTC offers a lower price per share compared to GBTC, making it appealing to retail investors with smaller accounts. Despite similarities in strategy, BTC may face liquidity challenges compared to IBIT due to lower volumes and AUM, making IBIT a potentially better investment option.
Why a 10% Drop in Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF Tuesday Shouldn't Rattle Investors
Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), the second-largest spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) by assets, lost 11% of its value Tuesday. But investors shouldn't worry, Grayscale said.
Is Grayscale Bitcoin Trust a Millionaire Maker?
Bitcoin is an anti-inflationary asset. Investors can choose the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF to minimize the risks of owning Bitcoin outright.
GBTC: Ready To Impress, Why? It's Just A Cyclical Matter
The price of GBTC moves according to well-defined cycles driven by the halving and global economic trends. The potential rate cut in September could boost the demand for Bitcoin, as has happened in the past. The weakness of the dollar and the current global economic and political turmoil could stimulate the price of GBTC, following a parallel with the price of gold.
Does the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF Still Make Sense for New Crypto Investors?
Bitcoin ETF fees can significantly impact long-term returns. The Grayscale Bitcoin ETF is very similar to other Bitcoin ETFs nowadays but with significantly higher annual fees.
