Following the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in early 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) spot trading volume experienced a significant surge, mirroring the peak of the 2020-2021 bull market. This surge coincides with Bitcoin's recent all-time high of $73k in mid-March, which saw daily volumes peak at $14.1 billion.
Surge in Bitcoin Spot Trading Volume Coincides with Launch of ETFs
Since the inception of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin (BTC) in early 2024, the spot trading volume for the flagship cryptocurrency has witnessed a dramatic increase, mirroring the heights of the 2020-2021 bull market. This observation was presented on April 10th by Glassnode, a prominent cryptocurrency analytics platform.
Upon the commencement of ETF trading on January 11, 2024, Bitcoin markets experienced a significant uptick in spot trading volume. At the time of Bitcoin's all-time high of $73,000 last month, daily volumes peaked at an impressive $14.1 billion. Bitcoin's record high of $73,737.94 was achieved on March 14th, and it currently stands 5.63% below that apex.
"Bitcoin markets have experienced an increase in spot trading volume since the launch of the US spot ETFs in early January 2024," Glassnode noted. "When the market reached the all-time high of $73K in mid-March, daily volumes registered a peak of approximately US$14.1 billion. This magnitude of spot trading volume is equivalent to the height of the 2020-2021 bull market, although it has started to cool in recent weeks, currently at $7 billion per day."
