Bitcoin ETFs Only 13% of Total Trading Volume
Bitcoin ETFs account for just 13% of trading, while exchanges like Binance dominate the market with significantly higher volumes.
- Bitcoin ETFs represent only 13% of current BTC trading volume.
- Binance alone records double the volume of all US ETFs.
- On-chain data shows centralized exchanges still lead in Bitcoin trades.
Despite the rise of US-based Bitcoin ETFs, centralized exchanges continue to dominate the crypto trading landscape. According to recent on-chain data, Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) currently account for only 13% of the total BTC trading volume. In contrast, crypto exchanges — especially giants like Binance — continue to process much higher volumes.
This data suggests that while ETFs are gaining traction, they are still far from overtaking traditional exchange platforms in terms of user engagement and liquidity.
Binance Outpaces All US ETFs Combined
What’s particularly striking is that Binance alone handles nearly double the volume of all US spot Bitcoin ETFs combined. This highlights the continued preference for direct Bitcoin trading through centralized platforms, especially among retail and institutional traders outside the US.
One key reason is that exchanges like Binance offer 24/7 trading, broader asset support, margin trading, and global access — features that ETFs, bound by traditional market hours and regulatory limitations, cannot yet match.
ETFs Still Have a Long Road Ahead
While the launch of US Bitcoin ETFs has been hailed as a step toward mainstream crypto adoption, the relatively low share of trading volume reveals that these products are still in their early stages. Factors like regulatory restrictions, limited investor awareness, and reduced volatility in ETF products may be slowing adoption.
However, this doesn’t mean ETFs aren’t important. Their presence brings institutional credibility and offers a safer entry point for traditional investors. As the crypto market matures and ETF products evolve, their share in Bitcoin trading volume could grow substantially.
