James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, stated on X platform that BlackRock’s IBIT is the first ETF to surpass Grayscale’s GBTC in daily trading volume. However, the total trading volume was low yesterday, at only $924 million, and the total dollar trading volume has fallen below $1 billion for the first time since the launch of spot ETFs. As of Thursday, the cumulative trading volume of US Bitcoin spot ETFs has approached $30 billion.

GBTC is converted from Grayscale’s previously launched Bitcoin Trust and is not a new Bitcoin spot ETF like others. According to data from BitMEX Research, the higher-cost GBTC has seen outflows of assets worth over $5.8 billion since the 11th, while the total inflow of the other 9 ETFs is $7.2 billion.

As GBTC’s outflow slows down, its market share continues to decline. As of Thursday’s data, GBTC’s market share further dropped to 31.4% in the past few days, while IBIT was 32.6% and FBTC was 18.4%.
