On November 11th, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) surged by an impressive 11% to reach a new all-time high of $89,500. This significant increase had a ripple effect on the United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), causing them to experience a combined daily trading volume of a record-breaking $38 billion.
A New Era in Trading Volume
According to data from Bloomberg Intelligence cited by ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, this record-breaking day far surpassed the previous high of around $25 million set in March. The surge in trading volume can be attributed to Bitcoin’s ability to break through a long-held price peak.
"It’s lifetime records being set all over the place," Balchunas noted, highlighting the exceptional nature of the day. He also pointed out that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF alone saw a record $4.5 billion in trading volume, which "points to a robust week of inflows."
MicroStrategy Sees Record-Breaking Trading Volume
One of the biggest gainers on November 11th was business intelligence firm MicroStrategy (MSTR), whose stock soared by over 25% to reach $340. This significant increase surpassed its peak high from almost 25 years ago and was accompanied by a record-breaking trading volume of $12 billion, as per Google Finance.
On the same day, MicroStrategy announced that it had purchased another 27,200 Bitcoin for approximately $2.03 billion, taking its total Bitcoin holdings to 279,420 BTC. This move further solidified the company’s commitment to the cryptocurrency and its potential for long-term growth.
Coinbase Global Also Sees Significant Gains
Coinbase Global (COIN) also experienced a notable increase on November 11th, with its stock jumping nearly 20% to close at $324.20. This milestone marked the first time since 2021 that COIN had surpassed the $300 mark.
MSTR and COIN featured prominently in the top five most-traded stocks over the initial hours of the trading day, even surpassing tech giants like Apple and Microsoft, according to Balchunas’ observations.
Bitcoin Miners See Substantial Gains
The surge in Bitcoin’s price also had a positive impact on Bitcoin mining firms. MARA Holdings, for instance, soared by 29.9% to reach $25.01, taking its market capitalization over $7 billion, according to Google Finance data.
Other notable gains were seen in CleanSpark (up 29.7%), Bitdeer Technologies (up over 25%), Hut 8 (up over 25%), and Bit Digital (also up over 25%).
What’s Behind the Positive Sentiment?
The current positive sentiment surrounding Bitcoin can be attributed to several factors, including Donald Trump’s election win and the growing number of pro-crypto Republican politicians winning seats in the Senate and House.
This development has led to speculation that Bitcoin could become America’s next strategic reserve asset. Several other countries have also begun showing interest in cryptocurrency, further fueling the positive sentiment.
As Bitcoin activist Dennis Porter noted, "speculation that Bitcoin could become America’s next strategic reserve asset is strengthening, while several other countries have begun showing interest too."
