Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund: record volumes exceeding $7 billion
The sector of Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on US spot Bitcoin also seems to ride the wave of the crypto rally.
In fact, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, on November 11, the total daily volume exceeded 7 billion dollars, making it the sixth highest day ever.
“Massive trading day of 7.22 billion dollars for US Bitcoin ETFs. The day with the highest volume since March 14. And the 6th highest day of all time. BlackRock $IBIT leads with 4.6 billion dollars, followed by Fidelity $FBTC, which also surpasses one billion dollars.”
In practice, it seems that the institutional appetite for Bitcoin continues to grow, given that the spot BTC ETFs in the USA have recorded the largest trading day in over 7 months.
Not only that, Eric Balchunas, also an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, stated that the Exchange-Traded Funds on US spot Bitcoin are on track to surpass gold ETFs. This “on track” has been calculated to be 72%.
“Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed 90 billion dollars in assets, after yesterday’s jump of 6 billion dollars (1 billion dollars in flows, 5 billion dollars in market appreciation)… they are now 72% of the way to surpassing gold ETFs in terms of assets.”

The price of BTC and its ATH

In reality, what is happening is that the price of BTC has marked seven ATH in seven days.
In any case, in general, the current price of BTC is in a pump of +21% compared to a week ago.
