Spot Bitcoin ETFs topped $4.5 billion in trading volume on the first day of trading, but one of the issuers has clarified it hasn’t yet made the cut.
The first day of trading for a suite of new Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has gone off with a bang, with BlackRock, Grayscale, and Fidelity’s ETFs coming out on top in total volumes. One issuer, however, didn't get to start as expected.
Aggregated data from Yahoo Finance, compiled by Cointelegraph, shows that the total volume across ten of the spot Bitcoin ETFs reached more than $4.5 billion in total volume for day one trading.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), was the top performer of the newly-listed funds, handling just over $1 billion in volume — 22% of the group's total volume — per Yahoo Finance data.
