BlackRock Spot Bitcoin ETF Surpasses $1 Billion Daily Trading Volume Milestone

According to analysis by Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, the BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF traded $1 billion worth of shares, ranking it 11th among all ETFs and within the top 25 among stocks, showcasing its formidable presence in the market.

Among the influx of new entrants into the ETF space, those backed by industry giants like BlackRock and Fidelity have dominated the inflows, drawing attention away from older entities like the Grayscale ETF, which has historically charged higher management fees.

While the Grayscale ETF remains the largest, boasting ownership of 454,000 Bitcoins, BlackRock holds a distant second place with 119,000 Bitcoins, followed by Fidelity with 86,000. Other competitors lag behind with holdings below 30,000 bitcoins.

Bitcoin Surges 5% as Spot Bitcoin ETFs Experience Record Trading Activity

BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF stands out as the top performer in today’s trading, although major BTC ETFs are experiencing significant surges. Analysts predict that today will likely mark the second biggest trading day for spot Bitcoin ETFs, potentially surpassing the inaugural trading day record.

In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has seen a 5% increase, reaching $54,000. This surge can be attributed to a rise in crypto investment inflows, additional Bitcoin purchases by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, and former President Trump’s endorsement of Bitcoin.

With these factors at play, BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETFs and others are poised to potentially break their single-day trading record today and continue to flourish throughout the week.
