Where is all the money flowing? Watching the trading volume steadily rise, but why is there no significant movement in the market? This question really hits home. According to the latest data, the total trading volume of US spot crypto ETFs surpassed $2 trillion on January 2nd. Even more astonishing, it took only 8 months to go from breaking $1 trillion in May last year to now—doubling in just half the time.
As of January 2nd, the combined net inflow into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products reached $646 million. BlackRock's IBIT product dominates the market, with an approximate market share of 70%. The coverage of spot ETFs is also expanding, with mainstream coins like SOL and XRP now listed. Since XRP products launched in November last year, they have attracted $1.2 billion in funds.
While the amount of capital is indeed increasing, whether it can effectively push prices higher depends on the market's specific absorption capacity.

BlackRock monopolizes the market with a 70% share... This is the rhythm to dominate the entire crypto market.
---
2 trillion in trading volume, and that's it? Prices are still stagnant, and funds are probably all locked in.
---
XRP only attracted 1.2 billion? I thought it would be more aggressive. Looks like retail investors aren't as crazy as imagined.
---
Trading volume doubled but prices didn't keep up. Isn't this just institutions manipulating the market? Retail investors, don't get your hopes up.
---
The digestion capacity is definitely a bottleneck. No matter how much money flows in, it depends on whether the market can absorb it.
---
Sol also has spot ETF now? They're trying to take Ethereum's territory.
---
BlackRock alone controls 70%. How can other institutions survive? The market structure feels a bit suffocating.
---
Trading volume doubled in 8 months, but the coin price remains the same... What does that mean? It means the money gets locked in once it enters.

BlackRock's 70% market share this time is really incredible, it's basically all supported by one company to keep the scene going
---
The 20 trillion trading volume is unprecedented, there's more money, but why hasn't the coin price followed suit?
---
That 1.2 billion XRP inflow feels like it's been suppressed underwater, could it be smashed through?
---
Trading volume doubled but the market didn't react, it's probably funds playing a game
---
ETF expansion for SOL and XRP sounds good but in reality it's still the usual scheme where institutions cut retail investors' throats
---
Net inflow of 646 million disappeared in a day, retail investors entering, losing money is just routine
---
Over there at IBIT, they’re sucking blood like vampires, other products have no chance at all
---
More money but no price increase, doesn't that mean retail investors are ultimately just feeding the whales?
---
This data looks impressive, but the liquidity that can truly drive prices is simply not enough
---
Spot ETF this time is indeed Wall Street's new tool to cut retail investors, I bet 5 bucks I still can't escape it in the end

BlackRock's vampire family owns 70%, this is just outrageous... Funds are coming in but the market isn't moving, which is really a bit frustrating.

BlackRock's family took 70% of the cake, retail investors are still drinking soup
---
Trading volume doubled but prices didn't rise? That's outrageous, feels like a premonition of being harvested
---
XRP only absorbed 1.2 billion? That number doesn't sound that impressive either
---
With so much money, why is the market not reacting? Are institutions again on the road to harvest retail investors
---
Expanding coverage of spot ETFs, but how many retail investors can truly benefit from it
---
Lack of digestion ability just means you can't think of a good entry point, after all, it's still a timing issue
---
IBIT dominates 70% of the market, BlackRock's recent move is really a big win
---
2 trillion in trading volume sounds intimidating, but the actual impact on prices is so small? Is this reasonable?
---
Wait, funds are coming in but the market still can't rise? Doesn't that make my position even more dangerous?
---
SOL and XRP have both launched spot ETFs, this is truly breaking out of the circle

Trading volume doubles, but the price remains unchanged? How big is this plate to hold so much?
---
BlackRock owns 70%, typical big players eating alone, huh?
---
XRP this wave attracted 1.2 billion in funds, so I’m just here to be a bystander?
---
Money has come in, but the market is still so sluggish. The digestion ability is really poor.
---
What does a 2 trillion trading volume mean? It’s just institutions flipping assets among themselves.
---
The real issue is right here: more funds ≠ higher prices, the tricks are too deep.

I'm not really cutting losses and running away, I'm just making technical adjustments haha
---
BlackRock's big fish keeps absorbing, retail investors can only watch from the sidelines
---
Funds are coming in, but the market remains dull. That's so heartbreaking, brother
---
XRP absorbs 1.2 billion in a month? I feel like the institutions have already taken it all
---
Trading volume doubles but the price doesn't move, that's my reason for cutting losses
---
All the money has been eaten up by ETFs, and retail investors are still staring at the K-line in a daze

20 trillion in trading volume... BlackRock is the only one eating the meat while others are drinking the soup.
Funds have come in but the price hasn't gone up, this is ridiculous.
XRP absorbed 1.2 billion but still hasn't risen? That's funny.
High trading volume does not equal price increase; why do so many people fail to understand this?
Are the funds all being siphoned off by institutions or what? Truly absurd.
