Bitcoin ETF Dominates: Surges Past $10 Billion Trading Volume in 3 Days, Outshining All 2023 Fund Performances
Follow
The introduction of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has seen remarkable success, accumulating a staggering $9.6 billion in trading volume within the first three days of their launch. This data, reported by Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart, underscores the significant demand for Bitcoin exposure within traditional financial markets.
Leading ETFs in Trading Volume
In the initial three days, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) emerged as the leader, amassing $5.12 billion in trading volume. Following closely, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) secured $1.99 billion, while Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) ranked third with $1.46 billion. The overall performance of these ETFs surpassed the entire 2023 class of ETFs, showcasing the substantial interest from investors.

Comparison to 2023 ETFs
Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas provided context by noting that the $10 billion trading volume in the first three days of Bitcoin ETFs outperformed the combined trading activity of the 500 ETFs launched in 2023. The entire 2023 ETF class achieved only $450 million in volume, with the best-performing one reaching $45 million. Balchunas emphasized the challenges of generating volume for ETFs, highlighting that it must occur organically in the marketplace.
Impact of GBTC on Trading Volume
A notable contributor to the high trading volume in Grayscale's product was identified as selling pressure from GBTC holders. The conversion of GBTC holdings to the new spot ETF contributed significantly to the volume. Analyst James Lavish suggested that this selling pressure was one reason the ETF launch didn't meet some expectations.
While the trading volume in ETFs may not have direct implications for the broader crypto market, it signals a growing appetite among traditional investors for exposure to cryptocurrencies. The success of Bitcoin ETFs within the first few days reflects the increasing integration of digital assets into mainstream financial markets.
