As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience in this dynamic market, I can’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration at the recent surge in inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. The 220% increase on Nov. 19 is nothing short of impressive, especially considering that these figures are compared to the previous day.
On November 19th, the inflow into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs increased a staggering 220% compared to the day before, as Bitcoin hit record highs after the debut of the first ETF offering Bitcoin trading options.
Based on SoSoValue’s data, Bitcoin ETFs holding 12 spots experienced a net investment of approximately $816.44 million on Tuesday, which is more than double the amount invested on Monday. Notably, the largest contributions to this daily inflow came from ARK and 21Shares’ ARKB fund, with an astounding $267.34 million flowing into it. This marks the highest single day of investments for ARKB since its launch, surpassing the $200.7 million invested on March 27.
Both Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT experienced substantial increases in investments, receiving approximately $256.15 million and $216.12 million, respectively. Bitwise’s BITB, Grayscale’s GBTC, and VanEck’s HODL also fueled the upward trend by attracting investments worth $52.75 million, $16.19 million, and $7.9 million, respectively.
Data regarding flows into Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust was not updated at the time of writing. However, the remaining BTC ETFs remained neutral on the day.
On November 19th, the total trading volume for these ETFs was noticeably greater, amounting to approximately $4.78 billion, as opposed to the $3.62 billion recorded the day before.
On Tuesday, a notable surge in investments occurred simultaneously with Bitcoin’s record-breaking high of $94,041. This remarkable rise followed news that global asset management giant BlackRock had formally introduced IBIT for options trading on Nasdaq. These new options contracts empower investors to speculate on price fluctuations by giving them the ability to trade shares of ETFs at specified prices.
Trade volume for options contracts tied to BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF reached almost $2 billion, potentially contributing to the record-high price of Bitcoin.
Eric Balchunas, an analyst at Bloomberg, pointed out in a recent post that the trading volume of over $1.9 billion on the first day was unparalleled. He drew a parallel between this amount and the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the first U.S. ETF to provide Bitcoin exposure, which only managed $363 million during its initial launch.
At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) was still up 0.6%, exchanging hands at $92,112.
