Spot Bitcoin ETFs secure record trading volume for crypto products: CoinShares
The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs has pushed trading volumes in crypto investment products to a new weekly all-time high, with $17.5 billion in volume.
In a Jan. 15 Digital Asset Fund Flows report , CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the trading volumes from the week ended Jan. 12 were the “highest on record,” noting that in 2022, weekly trading volumes averaged around $2 billion.
“These trading volumes represented almost 90% of daily trading volumes on trusted exchanges last Friday [Jan. 12], unusually high as they typically average between 2%-10%.”
Total weekly inflows hit $1.18 billion, though Butterfill noted it was “not a record” as the Bitcoin futures ETF launches in October 2021 brought $1.5 billion of inflows in the first week.
United States-based products made up for most of the inflows at $1.24 billion, while German and Swedish-based products saw respective outflows of $27 million and $15.5 million due to “traders looking to switch from Europe to the U.S.”
Canadian products also saw $44.2 million in outflows, the highest of any country, while Swiss-based products captured $24.2 million in inflows.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin products had the highest inflows at $1.16 billion for the week, followed by Ether ( ETH ) funds with nearly $25 million. Bitcoin short funds recorded $4.1 million in inflows.

XRP ( XRP ) followed with $2.2 million, while Butterfull called Solana ( SOL ) funds “the notable exception” as they saw just $500,000 of inflows.
ProShares crypto-linked ETFs, including the asset managers sp Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), saw the largest weekly inflows at $265.2 million, while Grayscale Investments products saw $579.1 million in outflows.
