The trading volume in Bitcoin futures stood at $2.59 trillion, while Ethereum futures were $1.28 trillion. Each of the two indicators has peaked in the past two years. Experts said the increase is due to better market conditions and positive macroeconomic factors.

Political and Regulatory Changes Bolster Crypto Sentiment

The rally in the crypto market can be attributed to many factors, including Donald Trump’s re-election as the US President. Trump’s pro-crypto stance fueled optimism, which took Bitcoin to a record $99,635. Solana followed the trend and rose to its all-time high in the month. Notably, the GMCI 30 index, which measures the top 30 coins, rose by 62.3% in the month.

Continuing the positive movement, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s resignation raised the possibility of a change in regulation. Some within the crypto industry celebrated his departure, seeing it as a chance for better regulation from a more balanced oversight.

Bitcoin ETFs and Institutional Inflows

In November, record inflows into Bitcoin ETFs in the United States reached $6.4 Billion. The leading funds were BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, which claimed nearly $5.6 billion of the total sum. Other participants were Fidelity’s BTC-linked offering, the Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, and VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF.

Even so, some ETFs witnessed a decline in assets under management, with Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF leading with $364 million outflows. However, the net fund inflow continued the bullish trend because institutional and retail investors continued to buy bitcoins, which increased their prices.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which indicates optimism, increased to a yearly high of 92 in late November. Pundits predicted that fresh investment and strong fundamentals continued to propel the upswing as Bitcoin advanced to its next key levels.
