The price of Bitcoin has recovered strongly overnight, rising from around $34,000 to $38,500. The 10% rally coincides with Grayscale reopening its products.
Last month, Grayscale closed its products for new investors. Since Christmas, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust did not report any additional inflow as a result.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is the go-to investment vehicle for institutions in the U.S. to gain exposure to BTC. Hence, when it is closed to new investors, there are naturally lower capital inflows into the Bitcoin market.
