Once again, the spotlight is on spot Bitcoin ETFs, as traditional financial institutions express interest in gaining exposure to these funds. Consequently, trading volumes for Bitcoin ETFs have surged to a two-month high.
On-chain data provider Santiment has reported a significant surge in trading volume for Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), marking the highest levels seen since March 24.
According to Santiment’s analysis, the seven largest Bitcoin ETFs collectively recorded a trading volume of $5.65 billion on a single day, indicating a notable uptick in investor interest in cryptocurrency investment vehicles.
The data suggests a departure from previous trends where large investors primarily accumulated Bitcoin through on-chain transactions. Moreover, the daily trading volume for the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund also touched a new all-time high.
According to recent SEC filings, Millennium Management, a leading global hedge fund, has disclosed a substantial spot Bitcoin ETF portfolio valued at $2 billion. As said, more and more traditional players and global hedge funds are seeking exposure to Bitcoin ETFs.
On May 15, the collective net inflow into Bitcoin spot ETFs amounted to $303 million. Among the notable contributions, Grayscale’s GBTC saw a substantial single-day net inflow of $27.0466 million, while the surprising this was that BlackRock’s IBIT registered zero inflows. However, the gap between BlackRock’s Bitcoin holdings and that between Grayscale’s GBTC has been getting closer and closer with every passing day.
On Wednesday, Fidelity’s FBTC recorded an inflow of $131 million and has been leading the pack throughout this week. At the same time, Bitwise’s BITB observed an inflow of $86.2578 million.
Similar to the US market, the Bitcoin ETF trading activity in the Hong Kong market has also been growing very strongly. Amid the current developments, Bitwise Investments shares three major trends in regard to the Bitcoin ETFs.
