Nine newly established spot <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen their combined trading volumes surpass $2 billion for two consecutive days, indicating strong demand and interest.

BlackRock’s ETF set a new daily volume record of $1.3 billion, outperforming most large-cap stocks in the United States.
Balchunas was unsure if this was a “new normal” or a temporary surge related to algorithmic trading or arbitrage.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) recorded over 100,000 individual trades on February 27th, a significant increase from the usual 30,000 to 60,000 average daily trades.
The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) experienced $578 million in daily volume, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) was the third-highest ETF in terms of trade volume at $204 million.
This marked the second consecutive day that the nine new ETFs have exceeded $2 billion in daily volume since their inception on January 11th.
On February 26th, the trading volumes for the nine funds reached a high of $2.4 billion, surpassing the previous record of $2.2 billion set on their first trading day.
These figures do not include volume from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which experienced an outflow of $22.4 million on February 26th and $125.6 million on February 27th, according to preliminary data from Farside Investors.
On February 28th, ETF Store President Nate Geraci shared a graph illustrating the declining share of Grayscale’s ETF volume in comparison to the other funds.
Farside’s initial flow data reveals a combined net inflow of $574 million for the ETFs on February 27th, surpassing the $520 million from the previous day despite a larger outflow from Grayscale.
BlackRock’s IBIT experienced $520 million in net inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC saw $126 million. Bitwise’s fund came in third, with $18.3 million of inflows.
