Bitcoin ETF Trading Volume Hits February Lows Amid Market Uncertainty
The trading activity for spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. has notably declined, reaching its lowest levels since early February.
On Monday, the trading volume plummeted to $779.87 million, a significant drop from the $5.24 billion peak observed on August 6.
Analyst Augustine Fan from SOFA.org attributes this downturn to diminished market enthusiasm following recent sell-offs and seasonal factors such as summer vacations. Additionally, investor caution is linked to upcoming Federal Reserve discussions and a general wait-and-see attitude.
Despite the reduced trading volume, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net inflow of $61.98 million, with BlackRock and Fidelity seeing substantial gains. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs are struggling, with their trading volume hitting a new low and facing net outflows of $13.52 million, largely due to issues with the Grayscale ETHE fund.
