BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ranked fifth in overall US ETF trading volume on Sept. 18 after rising about 6%, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. Trading activity accelerated alongside gains in Bitcoin’s price, placing IBIT among the most actively traded ETFs across the entire US market, not only crypto-related products. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ranked ninth, a notable result because it typically places higher by volume. The broader top 10 reflected broad index investing, enthusiasm for artificial intelligence stocks and debasement trades, highlighting demand for both crypto exposure and traditional safe-haven assets.
