Launched in 2013, GBTC was one of the first Bitcoin investment products but has seen reduced demand due to its 2.5% management fee. To address this, Grayscale introduced a lower-cost alternative, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, in July, which charges an annual fee of 0.15%.

Bitcoin ETFs in the United States collectively attracted over $35 billion in net inflows throughout the year. This equates to about $144 million entering these funds daily.

BlackRock also led in Ethereum-focused ETFs. Its iShares Ethereum ETH $2,120.83 Trust (ETHA) saw $3.5 billion in net inflows, more than double the $1.5 billion recorded by Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH).

According to Farside, Fidelity’s share of Ethereum inflows was closer to BlackRock’s at 44%, compared to its 31% share of Bitcoin inflows.

Meanwhile, in December 2024, BlackRock made a bold claim about Bitcoin's 21 million fixed supply cap in a video posted on X. How did the crypto community react? Read the full story.
