Bitcoin bounces back as Grayscale ETF outflows hit new record low

Outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) have hit a new record low, down almost 90% from the previous day, coinciding with a rebound in Bitcoin ( BTC ) after new United States inflation data triggered volatility.

On April 10, GBTC saw outflows of $17.5 million, a significant decrease compared to the $154.9 million outflows recorded on April 9, as per Farside data .

Alongside this, Bitcoin’s price has increased 2.08% over the past 24 hours, currently standing at $70,474, as per CoinMarketCap data .

Within the same time-frame, it briefly hit local lows of $67,482 following the release of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March, which came in at 3.5% year-on-year. This led to worries that the Federal Reserve might further delay interest rate cuts .

Some crypto commentators are again sharing hope it could be the start of the slowdown in GBTC outflows, which have amounted to $16 billion in outflows since GBTC was converted to a spot Bitcoin ETF in January.

“GBTC selling over?” CEO of crypto-focused reviews portal Apollo Thomas Fahrer asked his 41,500 X followers in an April 11 post .

Fahrer further pointed out that the April 10 outflows are equivalent to roughly 250 Bitcoin, almost a 95% decrease in outflows from the start of the week.

Only days ago, on April 8, Grayscale witnessed outflows equivalent to 4,288 Bitcoin at a total of $303 million.
