The United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market experienced a decrease in daily trading volume to $779.87 million on Monday. This decline marks the third lowest trading volume after the records set on February 5th and 6th, which were $649.17 million and $692.11 million, respectively. Despite an inflow of $61.98 million into the spot Bitcoin ETFs, the daily trading volume fell from its usual range of over $1 billion.
The SOFA.org Head of Insights Augustine Fan suggested that the low trading volume was expected due to the continued negative market sentiment following heavy sell-offs a few weeks ago. Additionally, the summer holidays and improved economic data have reduced concerns about an imminent recession, leading investors to wait for further signals from the upcoming Fed’s Jackson Hole meeting.
BlackRock’s IBIT led the daily trading volume metrics with $450.53 million, with an inflow of $92.68 million, the highest among similar products. Fidelity’s FBTC followed closely behind with a daily trading volume of $134.51 million and an inflow of $3.87 million. These two Bitcoin ETFs were the only ones to see inflow records, attributed to prominent industry leaders allowing clients to invest in IBIT or FBTC.
Bitwise’s BITB experienced an outflow of $25.7 million, the largest from the recent trading records. Invesco’s BTCO also recorded an outflow of $8.84 million. These outflows could be indicative of shifting market trends and investor sentiment towards certain Bitcoin ETF products.
The U.S. Bitcoin ETF market saw a decline in daily trading volume, with various factors contributing to this trend. It is essential for investors to stay informed about market developments and analyze the performance of different Bitcoin ETF products to make well-informed investment decisions. As the market continues to evolve, keeping track of trading volumes and inflows/outflows can provide valuable insights into the overall health and direction of the Bitcoin ETF market.
