FTX Fire Sale: FTX, the crypto exchange that went bankrupt last year, is selling shares of the Grayscale (GBTC) Bitcoin ETF. FTX offloaded shares worth about $1 billion, contributing to substantial outflows from GBTC. This major sell-off by the bankrupt FTX may be a pivotal factor in the Bitcoin’s recent price movements. |
Grayscale Drain: After converting into an ETF, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust experienced over $2 billion in withdrawals, notably impacted by FTX reducing its holdings to zero shares of GBTC through the sale of 22 million shares. |
Price Impact: The massive liquidation by FTX, unique for a bankruptcy estate, occurred alongside Bitcoin’s price decline. This selling spree’s conclusion might lead to a more stable Bitcoin market. |
