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.

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America
The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
