2024-11-12

With bitcoin soaring past $88,000 for the first time on Monday, BlackRock's spot BTC exchange-traded fund set a new daily trading volume record, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas.
BlackRock's spot bitcoin ETF generated $4.5 billion in daily trading volume, according to Balchunas, who posted the results on X.
As the price of bitcoin continues to rise in the wake of Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election, the entire crypto market is on the uptick. Both spot bitcoin ETFs and crypto-related companies, such as MicroStrategy, are seeing their prospects and share prices improve.
Last week, days after Trump's win, BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF raked in over $1.1 billion in net inflows, marking its new record amount of single-day inflows.
