In July, the agency approved in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto ETFs and gave the green light for applications to list and trade spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, along with options on certain spot Bitcoin ETPs.<\/p>\n<p>That shift follows a pivotal court win for Grayscale during the Biden era, which paved the way for spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 and spot Ether ETFs later that year.<\/p>\n<p>The market for US-based spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs is now booming. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas reported last week was the strongest yet for combined trading volume, driven largely by a surge in Ether ETF activity.<\/p>\n<p>Weekly Ether ETF volume hit $17 billion, a new record, coinciding with Bitcoin\u2019s climb to an all-time high of $124,000 and Ether\u2019s near-return to its November 2021 peak.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Spot Bitcoin + Ether ETFs did about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%2440b&#038;src=ctag&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">$40b<\/a> in volume this week, biggest week ever for them, thanks to Ether ETFs stepping up big.
