The 11 U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs shattered trading records last week, with cumulative volumes surpassing $40.32 billion, indicating likely institutional capitulation.<\/p>\n

BlackRock’s IBIT led the industry with $27.79 billion in trading volume, accounting for nearly 70% of the total, according to<\/a> data source SoSoValue.<\/p>\n

On Friday alone, these funds recorded over $11.01 billion in trading volume, with BlackRock’s IBIT\u00a0contributing $8 billion.<\/p>\n

Capitulation<\/p>\n

The record-setting activity comes hand-in-hand with a plunge in bitcoin’s price and large redemptions, pointing to institutional capitulation \u2013 the rush by investors to exit the fading bets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin’s price has dropped 23% this month to $86,700, according to CoinDesk data<\/a>, falling to nearly $80,000 on some exchanges last week. BlackRock’s IBIT\u00a0has also fallen to its lowest level since April.<\/p>\n

BTC’s price slide has pushed most ETF holders underwater, as the weighted-average entry price for holders is above $90K, according to Bianco Research.<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise that the 11 ETFs have cumulatively processed record redemptions worth $3.55 billion this month.<\/p>\n

The record redemptions challenge the prevailing belief that these entities take long-term positions, suggesting a possibility that fears of an impending macroeconomic blowup are driving this capitulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 11 U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs shattered trading records last week, with cumulative volumes surpassing $40.32 billion, indicating…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":400891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7566,64,62729,135,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-400890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-bitcoin","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-etfs","11":"tag-markets","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115603616822138682","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
