U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Hit $750 Billion in Trading Volume Within One Year

In just one year, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have crossed a major milestone, exceeding $750 billion in total trading volume since their introduction in January 2024.

After launching to much anticipation, spot Bitcoin ETFs rapidly gained traction, reaching $100 billion in volume by March 2024 and doubling that figure by April, fueled by Bitcoin’s surge to an all-time high close to $74,000.

However, as the overall crypto market slowed down, Bitcoin’s price consolidation between $50,000 and $70,000 for several months resulted in a dip in ETF trading activity.

A major rebound occurred after the U.S. presidential election in November 2024, with Bitcoin’s rally following Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance, propelling spot Bitcoin ETFs past the $500 billion mark in just one week.
