I think the end of those sales is very far away considering that the Grayscale has accumulated a huge amount of BTC over the years and now it's time for them to profit. Apparently, only a small number of people understood that the approval of BTC ETFs will not have a positive but the exact opposite effect on the price considering the conversion that happened when it comes to Grayscale.

Looking at the bigger picture, nothing bad is happening - everyone who thinks the price is too high will have the opportunity to buy cheaper, and on the other hand, the more Grayscale sells, the better for the future. Such a concentration of BTC in the possession of only one company is always nothing but a big risk.


There is sell off of around 2 billions dollars worth of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) after its conversion into ETF. Majority of this chunk coming from FTX, who sold all his 22 million shares (around 1 Billion USD) of Grayscale's ETF [1].

Such news defiantly have an impact on Bitcoin price for short duration but not in the long run. We have a dip day before yesterday and today also Bitcoin price is a bit down. Let these news of ETF's, sell-off go away and we will resume our normal journey of Bitcoin. Things will get more clear in coming 10 to 15 days.
