Interestingly, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded no net inflows or outflows, yet its trading volume surged to $1.1 billion, according to Coinglass data. For comparison, GBTC only managed a volume of $341 million, placing IBIT at number 18 overall in trading volume among all US ETFs. This raises speculation about IBIT’s potential to become a key institutional basis trade Bitcoin ETF, given its robust trading activity despite the absence of net inflows or outflows.
