Grayscale Bitcoin Trust

More than $21 billion has been withdrawn from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) since its launch on Jan. 11, making it the only spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States with a negative net investment flow.
As of Dec. 16, GBTC’s total outflows amounted to $21.045 billion as the trust continues to shed millions of dollars worth of investment daily. According to data from Farside Investors, GBTC has lost a daily average of $89.9 million for the past 11 months.

While the remaining 10 spot Bitcoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs approved in the US have maintained positive balance sheets, GBTC’s outflows overshadow the investments brought in by nine of the funds, as shown in the chart above.&nbsp;

The new nine — the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, Franklin Bitcoin ETF, Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, VanEck Bitcoin ETF, WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF — have collectively brought in $20.737 billion.
In contrast, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) plays a major role in ensuring a positive balance sheet. IBIT’s total inflows stand at $35.883 billion, with the fund attracting $153.3 million daily since inception.

Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE), which was launched along with eight other spot Ether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) ETFs in the US, is following a trend similar to its Bitcoin counterpart.
As of Dec. 13, ETHE has lost over $3.5 billion total in under six months since its launch on July 23.&nbsp;
All other funds on the spot ETH ETF ecosystem have a positive inflow, with BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) and Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) leading the drive with investments worth nearly $3.2 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively.
