Additionally, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) displays a similar narrative. As of Nov. 24, GBTC is up 280% year-to-date, while it currently trades at approximately an -8.42% discount to its net asset value (NAV). This figure represents the smallest discount to NAV observed this year. It harks back to a similar low in mid-2021 when the premium flipped to a discount. Interestingly, just a year ago, in November 2022, the discount to NAV was significant, at -50%.
