BlackRock's spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) reached a trading volume of over $1.3 billion, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas. 

This development indicates an increase in demand for Bitcoin investment products and reflects the asset's broader acceptance in the traditional financial sector.

BlackRock, one of the largest asset management firms, launched its spot Bitcoin ETF earlier this year, allowing investors to indirectly invest in Bitcoin. The ETF recorded a trading volume of $1.3 billion in a single day, reflecting significant interest in Bitcoin as an investment.

This $1.3 billion trading volume highlights the active participation of investors in the Bitcoin market amid current market volatility and economic uncertainties. 

As both institutional and retail investors explore diversification and alternative investments, Bitcoin's role is becoming more prominent.

Balchunas commented on the ETF's performance, noting it as remarkable for a new entrant in a competitive field, indicating that such trading volumes are typically seen in well-established funds and are significant enough to attract institutional investor interest.

Upon the opening of markets on Monday, there was a notable uptick in Bitcoin's price, achieving its highest point since December 2021.

Another possible contribution to the increase in Bitcoin's price is the slowing down of outflows from Grayscale's GBTC ETF, as shown in a post by HODL15Capital.
