What’s new? In the first week of the launch of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, total inflows into cryptocurrency derivatives totaled $1,18 billion with a trading volume of $17,5 billion, according to analysts at CoinShares. While weekly inflows fell short of the record of $1,5 billion set in October 2021 with the launch of futures BTC ETF, trading volume reached its highest point in recorded history.
What else is known? As expected, when broken down by region, the United States dominated with inflows of $1,24 billion, followed by Switzerland with $21 million, while Canada, Germany, and Sweden recorded outflows of $44 million, $27 million, and $16 million respectively, with analysts attributing this to traders’ desire to move to the US market.
