- IBIT attracts $4.7 billion since April 9, 2025.
- Bitcoin price climbs above $96,000.
- Ethereum ETFs show no inflow changes during the period.
Institutional investors increasingly adopt Bitcoin, influenced by IBIT’s growth and price impact. Bitcoin’s performance suggests sector-wide interest, despite alternative ETFs seeing outflows.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has recorded consistent inflows, totaling $4.7 billion since April 9, 2025. This development has led to a boost in Bitcoin’s market performance, with the currency’s price reaching over $96,000.
The key players driving the IBIT are BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink and Salim Ramji, Global Head of iShares and Index Investments. Despite other ETFs experiencing outflows, IBIT attracts substantial investments.
Industry impacts include a surge in Bitcoin’s valuation. Nate Geraci noted IBIT’s rapid inflows contrast with expectations for Bitcoin ETFs. This development has implications for institutional support and Bitcoin’s mainstream position.
Experts foresee potential positive regulatory interactions and increased institutional participation in the cryptocurrency sector. Historical parallels suggest strong ETF inflows correlate with heightened Bitcoin value and investor interest.
Nate Geraci, President, ETF Store, stated, “BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has set a new precedent with 16 consecutive days of inflows, accumulating nearly $5 billion and maintaining net growth despite sector-wide ETF outflows.”
