Grayscale’s Michael Sonnenshein backed the longevity of his firm’s spot Bitcoin ETF as it saw over $2.2 billion in outflows less a week after approval.

A few firms also offer zero fees for up to 12 months. The reason for this, Sonnenshein said, is because these funds are new and need to attract investors by slashing the cost. You might also...
