On Tuesday, February 27, these financial products (and not counting GBTC, the ETF issued by Grayscale, which was previously listed on secondary markets) were the protagonists of more than $2 billion in trading operations. In the case of IBIT, the bitcoin ETF issued by the company BlackRock, once again broke its personal record, with $1.3 billion in trading volume. Eric Balchunas, a hedge fund specialist, clarifies: "To put it in context, that's more than what's traded [per day] in most large-cap U.S. stocks."
