Bitcoin’s 11% rally to $89,500 on Nov. 11 has pushed United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), MicroStrategy Inc (MSTR) and Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) to a record $38 billion in combined daily trading volume.
The record day far surpassed the previous high of around $25 million set in March amid Bitcoin (BTC) breaking through a long-held price peak, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data cited by Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
“Lifetime records being set all over the place,” Balchunas said. He noted that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) alone saw a record $4.5 billion in trading volume.
“[This] points to a robust week of inflows. Just an insane day, it really deserves a name a la Volmageddon,” he added.
