The leader in the volume of assets withdrawn is the cryptocurrency fund of Grayscale Investments company. The spot bitcoin ETF with the GBTC ticker lost $640.5M.

According to analysts, the withdrawal of funds from the Grayscale crypto fund is largely related to the sale of assets by the collapsed FTX exchange. Senior Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas said the product lost $2.8B since launch. According to experts, over $900M of this amount comes from FTX sales.

Interestingly, it is now possible to view the balance and transaction history in four spot exchange-traded funds. Analysts from the Arkham Intelligence analytics platform identified the addresses of ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton.
