As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for market trends, I’m thrilled to witness BlackRock Inc.’s massive adoption of Bitcoin through its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). The recent filings with the SEC revealing their substantial holdings in this ETF have placed it at the forefront of the largest Bitcoin funds, surpassing even Grayscale GBTC.
As an analyst at a multinational investment firm like BlackRock Inc., I can attest to the significant surge in interest towards our spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), specifically the iShares Bitcoin Trust. BlackRock is actively contributing to this adoption trend by personally endorsing and promoting this product to our clients.
BlackRock Inc’s IBIT as Biggest Bitcoin Fund
Based on a recent SEC filing, BlackRock’s Global Allocation Fund held approximately 43,000 shares of IBIT as of the end of April.
Two filings made by BlackRock on May 28 have been noted by MacroScope. In these filings, BlackRock revealed that its Strategic Global Bond Fund and Strategic Income Opportunities Portfolio hold Bitcoin exposures. With these additions, BlackRock’s IBIT (Institutional Business) now manages the largest Bitcoin fund among its competitors, surpassing Grayscale GBTC in this regard.
I’ve analyzed the data up to May 30th and found that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, has accumulated an impressive Asset Under Management (AUM) of nearly $19.79 billion. In contrast, Grayscale’s GBTC experienced a significant decrease in AUM during the same timeframe, which now stands at around $19.75 billion, approximately $18 billion less than BlackRock’s ETF.
To date, IBIT has consistently recorded inflows that have bolstered its prominence in the ETF market. Contrarily, on Tuesday, there were no inflows noted for BlackRock’s IBIT, indicating a lukewarm response from institutional investors. Despite this, an impressive trading volume of $1 billion was achieved as rival funds experienced outflows.
As a crypto investor, I’d put it like this: I’m currently holding over 300,000 Bitcoins through BlackRock’s Institutional Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). With the current market value of each Bitcoin, my total investment is worth around $18.4 billion.
In recent times, Bitcoin ETF providers have experienced significant success, as indicated by the substantial inflows within the Bitcoin ecosystem. On June 26 alone, Bitcoin ETF investments amounted to over $21 million. Among these providers, Fidelity Investments spearheaded the influx, while BlackRock remained unchanged. Notably, Grayscale’s GBTC saw positive flows following a prolonged period of outflows.
More Spot Crypto ETFs In The Industry
Spot Ethereum ETFs have been approved by the United States SEC but it is yet to commence trading.
As an analyst, I’ve noticed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has received S-1 amendments from eight different filers looking to launch Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). This action signifies their dedication to adhering to regulatory requirements as they prepare to bring these potential investment offerings to market. Among them, VanEck, a well-known asset management firm, has gone an extra mile by filing Form 8-A specifically for a spot Ethereum ETF.
In the crypto world, the most recent development concerning Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) involves Solana. VanEck submitted the initial filing for a Solana ETF to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 27. It is anticipated that other companies will adopt this approach as well.
