Trading Volume Analysis
There were $2.26 billion worth of trades in U.S. spot Bitcoin funds on Monday. With daily volumes frequently surpassing $8 billion in March, this figure is noticeably lower than that month. Despite recent volatility in trading volume, these exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have amassed a net inflow of $16.11 billion since their introduction in January, demonstrating sustained investor interest and activity.
As for spot Ether ETFs, the market is waiting anxiously for the SEC to approve them, which is projected to happen by the end of July. Matteo Greco of Fineqia is among the analysts who forecast significant inflows for ETH Spot ETFs after accounting for the difference in market capitalization between BTC and ETH. To determine investor interest in digital assets other than Bitcoin, Greco emphasized the need to examine net inflows in relation to BTC. Understanding the larger market mood on Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies will be made possible through the use of this data.
