In a Feb. 27 X post, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described it as “another intense volume day for the Nine” — the ETFs bar Grayscales converted Bitcoin trust. He noted BlackRock’s ETF notched a new record $1.3 billion in daily volume, more than most large-cap United States stocks.


“I don’t know if this is a new normal or some kind of short-term [algorithm or arbitrage]-related burst,” he wrote.


BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw over 100,000 individual trades on Feb. 27, up from the around 30,000 to 60,000 average daily trades, Balchunas observed.Also interesting $IBIT saw over 100,000 individual trades today. It was doing 30-60k the whole time up until Tuesday. It"s like it found a new gear over Pres Day wknd. I thought maybe it was just pent up volume due to long wknd but it did even more today so there goes that theory pic.twitter.com/YTWp4BosIo— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) February 27, 2024


The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) had $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.


It is the second day in a row that the nine new ETFs have topped $2 billion in daily volume since their launch on Jan. 11.


Trading volumes for the nine funds topped $2.4 billion on Feb. 26, beating the prior record of $2.2 billion set on their first trading day.


The figures on both days excluded volume from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which saw an outflow of $22.4 million on Feb. 26 and $125.6 million on Feb. 27, according to preliminary data from Farside Investors.

BlackRock’s IBIT saw $520 million in net inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC had $126 million. Bitwise’s fund was third, with $18.3 million of inflows.
