Bitcoin ETFs now drive over 30% of spot BTC volume as overall trading slumps
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have rapidly established themselves as a dominant force in the market, now representing more than 30% of the total BTC spot trading volume.
This shift highlights how traditional financial products have swiftly captured the market as institutional and retail investors increasingly turn to regulated avenues for Bitcoin exposure.
However, this surge in Bitcoin ETF dominance coincides with a decline in overall trading volumes across both spot and futures markets.
Data from Glassnode shows that Spot trading volume has fallen to $5.02 billion, while futures volume has dropped to $31.2 billion. According to the firm, this is their lowest point in over a year and continues to show a downward trend.
This slowdown comes despite Bitcoin’s trading near its all-time high of $111,000, highlighting a divergence between price performance and trading activity.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin spot ETFs continue with their record-breaking performance. In their first year alone, these funds have attracted nearly $50 billion in inflows and now manage approximately $135 billion in total assets, according to SoSoValue data.
This impressive performance highlights the growing demand for accessible, regulated Bitcoin investment options among market participants.
