BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, continues to dominate the trading volume, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC and Fidelity’s FBTC.


Balchunas acknowledged this in a subsequent post of X, sharing a chart by fellow analyst James Seyffart showing IBIT’s growing dominance as it surpasses GBTC in market share.“While all of the ETFs won in terms of being profitable hits, $IBIT won the volume race and is officially the $GLD of Bitcoin.”Bitcoin ETF trading volume Market share.

On April 1, the cumulative spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows totaling $86 million, according to data from Farside Investors. BlackRock’s dominant IBIT ETF inflows of $165.9 million were overshadowed by Grayscale’s $302.6 million in outflows.Bitcoin ETF flows table. Source: Farside Investors


Fidelity’s FBTC recorded the second highest inflows of $44 million on April 1, while ARK Invest 21Shares ETF ARKB saw its first outflows of $300,000 since trading began on Jan. 11.


BlackRock and Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETFs reached about $18 billion and $10 billion, respectively, in assets under management last month and have been the most successful in terms of inflows.


On the other hand, Grayscale’s GBTC has surpassed $15 billion in total outflows after the over $300 million outflows recorded on April 1. GBTC’s assets under management have now dropped by 46% to $22 million, according to data from Coinglass.


Spot Bitcoin ETFs have completely altered the BTC markets, fueling a run to new all-time highs in March. Market participants expect a different cycle combining the success of the ETFs and the upcoming Bitcoin supply halving, which is now less than 20 days away.
