GBTC outflows may affect prices
CryptoSlate Insights found that that GBTC outflows moved 19,236 BTC out of the fund on Jan. 23, an amount valued at more than $754 million.
GBTC outflows offset inflows into various other spot Bitcoin ETFs, a trend best seen in long-term data. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reported that as of Jan. 23, GBTC has experienced $3.96 billion in cumulative outflows over 8 days, while other funds have seen $4.95 billion in inflows over the same period. This reduces overall spot Bitcoin inflows to just $982.9 million.
Any Bitcoin that enters and remains on the market is expected to increase the supply available to investors, thereby reducing prices.
Investor sentiment resulting from fading hype around spot Bitcoin ETFs may also impact prices alongside other developments.

At the Blockchain Association Policy Summit, U.S. Senators Gillibrand and Lummis stated that the "Crypto Market Structure Bill" is expected to have its draft released by the end of this week, with revisions and hearings scheduled for next week. The bill aims to establish clear boundaries for digital assets by adopting a classification-based regulatory framework, clearly distinguishing between digital commodities and digital securities, and providing a pathway for exemptions for mature blockchains to ensure that regulation does not stifle technological progress.
