Since Bitcoin ETFs are cash-based, can an AP set up an agreement with someone to sell them outflow Bitcoin so that someone can build a BIG position without moving the market? Maybe even the ETF issuer or the AP themselves (ie Blackrock or JPMorgan)?

If this is allowed, then perhaps this is even the reason why the ETFs aren't going to be in-kind (initially)? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid? 🤷‍♂️

Given that there's only been one day of IBIT outflows to date, it seems to me that the following is basically what is happening with the shares of IBIT (as opposed to the actual Bitcoin). I'd be curious to hear what others think about this.
