Grayscale's fund, a conversion rather than a brand new product, has shed billions of dollars after starting with more than $25 billion in assets under management. In terms of total trading volume — buying and selling — the BlackRock and Fidelity new spot bitcoin ETFs have been ranking second and third behind Grayscale.

As of 1:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, BlackRock and Fidelity had generated, according to Yahoo Finance data compiled by The Block, $250 million and $207 million in trading volume, respectively. Grayscale ranked third about halfway through the day with $202 million.

Since trading began this month, the three issuers have dominated total trading volume, accounting for, at times, about 90% of all buying and selling activity. Other spot bitcoin ETFs like those offered by Invesco and Galaxy, Franklin Templeton and Ark Invest have trailed far behind the top three. 

So far, Grayscale's ETF has lost more than $5 billion in assets under management, according to Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart. Both BlackRock and Fidelity's products are net positive by more than $2 billion. 

 

Total spot bitcoin ETF volume nears $27 billion

 

In what may be an effort to gain a competitive edge, Invesco and Galaxy Asset Management on Monday announced in a filing that the firms intend to cut their fund's fee from 0.39% to to 0.25%, which will put them on par with most rivals.

Total trading volume for all of the active spot bitcoin ETFs is nearing $27 billion, also according to Seyffart's post on Tuesday. Many market watchers and crypto enthusiasts have heralded the billions of dollars of money flowing into the new ETFs as a positive development for digital assets.
