2024 is The Year Spot Bitcoin ETFs Revolutionized Crypto, according to the latest Binance Research Report:


Spot Bitcoin ETFs have become a pivotal force in 2024, transforming Bitcoin from a niche asset into a regulated, mainstream financial product. With $63 billion in AUM, Bitcoin ETFs now represent nearly 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, rapidly pushing crypto into the center of TradFi.


Key Highlights:

Bitcoin ETFs have seen an incredible $18.9 billion in net inflows, outpacing early Gold ETFs in their first year. While demand is largely driven by retail investors (80% of ETF AUM), institutional interest is growing rapidly. Over 1,200 institutions, from investment advisors to hedge funds, have added BTC ETFs to their portfolios, with BlackRockโ€™s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leading in market share.

BTC ETFs now account for 26.4% of Bitcoinโ€™s daily trading volume, reaching peaks up to 62.6%. This influx has boosted liquidity and contributed to a significant decrease in Bitcoinโ€™s volatility, with daily trading volumes up 66.9% year-over-year. By deepening market stability, these ETFs are making Bitcoin more appealing to a broader range of investors.

BTC ETFs are helping bridge the gap between crypto and traditional finance, with Bitcoinโ€™s correlation to equity markets like the S&P 500 at record highs. This convergence signals a shift in investor sentiment, as Bitcoin is now viewed as both a risk asset and a hedge. Options trading on BTC ETFs, introduced this year, is expected to enhance hedging opportunities, drawing more institutional capital.

Beyond Bitcoin, the ETF success is setting the stage for tokenized assets, which could revolutionize how traditional finance interacts with blockchain. With BlackRock and Visa exploring blockchain-backed assets and tokenized platforms, crypto ETFs may only be the beginning of a broader digital asset ecosystem.
