what's grayscale bitcoin trust etf?
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with direct exposure to Bitcoin through a regulated vehicle. Established as one of the pioneering Bitcoin investment products, it holds actual Bitcoin in secure custody and allows shares to trade on major exchanges, enabling traditional investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market without managing digital wallets or exchanges. GBTC operates as a spot ETF, meaning its value closely tracks the price of Bitcoin, adjusted for the trust's expenses. It transitioned from an over-the-counter product to a fully listed ETF on the NYSE Arca, broadening accessibility for institutional and retail investors seeking a familiar stock-like investment in Bitcoin.
GBTC recorded a $171.8M weekly outflow, following prior daily outflows and one zero-flow day.
