Grayscale\u2019s GBTC saw substantial outflows ever since it first reached the US markets, while BlackRock\u2019s IBIT kept attracting billions of dollars worth of the primary cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>This moment finally <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/blackrocks-ibit-outpaces-grayscales-gbtc-in-just-96-trading-days\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">occurred<\/a> earlier this week as it took the world\u2019s largest asset manager just 96 days to become the biggest Bitcoin ETF issuer. Currently, Grayscale\u2019s fund has $19.7 billion in BTC, while IBIT holds $19.97, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.xyz\/assets\/etf\/us-btc-spot\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">according<\/a> to SoSoValue.<\/p>\n<p>Another major event within the Bitcoin ETF landscape came on Tuesday when all such products, not just those in the US, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/spot-bitcoin-etfs-now-hold-over-1-million-btc\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">attracted<\/a> just over one million BTC.<\/p>\n<p>These positive developments on the ETF front didn\u2019t result in substantial gains for the underlying asset. In fact, bitcoin tried to take down the $70,000 mark on a few occasions and, although it breached it once, couldn\u2019t succeed and currently sits about three grand away from it.<\/p>\n<p>The weekly charts among most altcoins are quite less eventful than they were last time. However, some of the meme coin representatives have taken the main stage. PEPE, for instance, charted a few all-time highs this week, while WIF is up by more than 20%. Additionally, the meme coin realm saw the entrance of a celebrity, but more on that later.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Data<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Market Cap: $2.667T | 24H Vol: $80B | BTC Dominance: 50%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">BTC: $67,320 (+0.44%) | ETH: $3,773 (+2.5%) | BNB: $593 (-0.5%)<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-174353.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>This Week\u2019s Crypto Headlines You Can\u2019t Miss<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ethereum Whales with Over 10,000 ETH Surging, Signaling Accumulation Trend<\/strong>.
