Rising interest and increased fluctuations indicate potential growth for Bitcoin, according to Glassnode.
Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new all-time high on Nov. 6 and is set for additional growth, driven by substantial inflows from both institutional and retail investors, as well as increasing market volatility, as reported in Glassnode’s latest “Week On-chain” analysis.
This notable increase occurs alongside monthly net capital inflows amounting to $2.5 billion, which have elevated Bitcoin’s market Realized Cap — a crucial indicator of net capital investment — by 3.8% over the last 30 days.
The Realized Cap now reaches an unprecedented $656 billion, bolstered by new capital entering the market.
Options fueling volatility
The options market has reflected Bitcoin’s upward trend, with open interest approaching record levels at $25.2 billion, just below the all-time high of $30.2 billion recorded in March.
Additionally, options trading volume has surged to $2.9 billion, indicating increased investor engagement regarding Bitcoin’s future price trajectories. The report observed that a nearly equal distribution between put and call options suggests that investors are preparing for both potential profits and downside risks.

The report further noted that the volatility risk premium (VRP) currently stands at 27.9%, signaling that traders anticipate significant price fluctuations ahead. This heightened implied volatility for short-term Bitcoin options indicates a market preparing for turbulent movements, suggesting that the crypto sector may experience further price increases or variations in the near future.
ETF interest remains robust
Interest in Bitcoin-based ETFs, which have been a major contributor to capital inflows, displayed mixed trends this week.
US-listed Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows of nearly $658 million from Nov. 4 to Nov. 5, attributed to investor caution regarding potential market volatility following the elections. However, over $2.2 billion in inflows were noted throughout the entire past week, reflecting ongoing investor interest in these products as Bitcoin prices rise.
On Nov. 6, the ETFs experienced significant trading volume, with BlackRock’s IBIT recording over $1 billion in trading volume within the first 20 minutes of trading. Analysts suggest this could indicate that the strong inflows from the previous week are likely to persist in the coming days.
According to Glassnode, the establishment of a new all-time high may draw more ETF investors, particularly those attracted to Bitcoin’s robust upward trend.
