In a notable development, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) surpassed Grayscale’s GBTC in trading volume, a first since the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. on January 11.

BitMEX Research’s recent report unveiled intriguing data on ETFs, revealing a spot Bitcoin ETF inflow of over 32,000 BTC within 17 trading days, valued at approximately US$1.459 billion. This surge triggered significant market dynamics, particularly evident in the movement of whale wallets.

While Grayscale’s GBTC dominated trading volumes in the initial three weeks after the ETFs’ launch, on-chain data from Santiment added another layer to the narrative. Despite Bitcoin’s price oscillating between $41,000 and $44,000, there was substantial activity among whale wallets. On February 1, 1K-10K BTC wallets surged to 1,958, the highest since November 2022, while wallets with 100-1K BTC reached a low of 13,735, the least since the same period.

Despite Grayscale’s net outflows, the sector displayed robust investment activity. BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) have attracted significant net inflows, totaling approximately $3.12 billion and $2.66 billion, respectively, since their market introductions.
