Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have rapidly established themselves as a dominant force in the market, now representing more than 30% of the total BTC spot trading volume.

This shift highlights how traditional financial products have swiftly captured the market as institutional and retail investors increasingly turn to regulated avenues for Bitcoin exposure.

However, this surge in Bitcoin ETF dominance coincides with a decline in overall trading volumes across both spot and futures markets.

Data from Glassnode shows that Spot trading volume has fallen to $5.02 billion, while futures volume has dropped to $31.2 billion. According to the firm, this is their lowest point in over a year and continues to show a downward trend.
