Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which launched in the US in January 2024, are on track to reach $1 trillion in cumulative trading volume in less than 18 months.
This impressive growth demonstrates that interest in digital assets continues to be strong among both institutional and individual investors.
ETFs, which saw a trading volume of $100 billion in the first two months after launch, exceeded $200 billion in April 2024, while the Bitcoin price reached its highest level in that period at $74,000.
However, over the following seven months, the Bitcoin price consolidated in the $50,000–$70,000 range, while the momentum in trading volume slowed somewhat.
The market was revived after pro-crypto Donald Trump won the presidential election in November 2024. While Bitcoin reached new highs, the trading volume of ETFs quickly exceeded $500 billion.
In February 2025, this volume reached $750 billion. As of today (June 9), the total transaction volume is $995.2 billion. With a daily transaction volume of $2.3 to $4.4 billion, the $1 trillion threshold is expected to be passed in a few days.
This growth puts spot Bitcoin ETFs in the same league as the world’s largest and most established ETFs, such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). In comparison, spot Ethereum ETFs, which launched in July 2024, have generated only $83.4 billion in total trading volume to date.
The clear leader in the spot Bitcoin ETF market is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). IBIT had a 22% market share at launch, but as of today, it has risen to 79%.
BlackRock’s ETF also alone holds $70 billion of the $120 billion in assets under management across the industry.
IBIT also surpassed the $70 billion AUM mark in just 341 trading days, breaking the previous record of the gold-based SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ETF, which had a trading record of 1,691 days, by quintuple.
