CryptoCompare, a crypto research firm, has recently shown<\/a> that the volumes for institution-level exchange-traded products (ETPs) have seen a massive surge in volume.<\/p>\n The report investigates some of the reasons behind the epic bull run that Bitcoin has recently experienced. As it stands now, BTC is trading for just over $18,200, a new high for 2020. According to CryptoCompare, this is primarily due to the institutional players driving the momentum forward.<\/p>\n CryptoCompare sent out the Digital Asset Management Review, which concluded that the aggregate volumes for ETPs had seen a surge of 53% within the span of 30 days.<\/p>\n As it stands now, this same review discovered an average daily volume (ADV) of $173.5 million, which is significantly more than October\u2019s $113 million. It should be noted that ETPs are securities that, in turn, track an underlying index, security, or financial instrument. In BTC ETP\u2019s case, it tracks Bitcoin<\/a>, as the name suggests.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In the report, CryptoCompare cites the Bitcoin Trust of Grayscale<\/a>, which stands as one of the key drivers in this bullish rise in momentum. Grayscale boasts more than $9 billion in assets under management, but these numbers could be outdated. On the 18th of November, 2020.<\/p>\n Grayscale posted that it had hit the $10 billion milestones when it came to assets under management. The firm proudly boasts of holding over half a million Bitcoin, as well.<\/p>\n The Ethereum trust product of Grayscale, referred to as ETHE, boasts $1.7 billion in assets under management. This stands at 40% more than it used to be 30 days prior.<\/p>\n Not even Litecoin has escaped the institutional fund manager, as it boasts $58 million in Litecoin under management as well. The Bitcoin Cash Trust of Grayscale boasts $46 million, just shy of Litecoin, though it\u2019s probable that this will only change in time.<\/p>\n The Bitcoin Fund of 3iQ, the report noted, had also experienced higher levels of returns within these past 30 days, recording it at just over 49%. As it stands now, 3iQ is the leading crypto asset fund manager for Canada.<\/p>\n Another institutional player, ETC Group, saw its BTCE product increase in AUM by the largest percentage, going up by 93% within just 30 days. Now, the BTCE product stands valued at $116 million. BTCE saw a massive rise in volumes, as well, with average volumes tripling in November. The firm\u2019s November average stands at $8.87 million a day, which is more than 200% higher than October\u2019s.<\/p>\n The BTCW product, this one from WisdomTree, saw a 65% increase to its AUM, in turn, and now stands valued at $79 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CryptoCompare Recording Massive Institutional Influx<\/h2>\n
