Grayscale finally lowered its transaction fee
Grayscale closed the week with a net loss of $450 million. The company, which could not prevent the exits, recently announced that the transaction fee in the Mini Bitcoin Fund would be 0.15%. Although the transaction fee in the GBTC fund has not decreased, the company announced that it will allocate 10% of the GBTC fund to the mini fund. Experts say that Grayscale’s move is a remedy to the unstoppable fund outflows for months.
