What to know:
- The U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs saw a record $40 billion in trading volume last week, with IBIT leading the way.
- The surge in trading volume, along with price plunge and record redemptions, suggests institutional capitulation.
The 11 U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs shattered trading records last week, with cumulative volumes surpassing $40.32 billion, indicating likely institutional capitulation.
BlackRock's IBIT led the industry with $27.79 billion in trading volume, accounting for nearly 70% of the total, according to data source SoSoValue.

On Friday alone, these funds recorded over $11.01 billion in trading volume, with BlackRock's IBIT contributing $8 billion.
Capitulation
The record-setting activity comes hand-in-hand with a plunge in bitcoin's price and large redemptions, pointing to institutional capitulation – the rush by investors to exit the fading bets.
Bitcoin's price has dropped 23% this month to $86,700, falling to nearly $80,000 on some exchanges last week. BlackRock's IBIT has also fallen to its lowest level since April.
BTC's price slide has pushed most ETF holders underwater, as the weighted-average entry price for holders is above $90K, according to Bianco Research.
It's no surprise that the 11 ETFs have cumulatively processed record redemptions worth $3.55 billion this month.
The record redemptions challenge the prevailing belief that these entities take long-term positions, suggesting a possibility that fears of an impending macroeconomic blowup are driving this capitulation.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October
The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets. The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
