Bitcoin ETF by BlackRock Ranks Among Top 5 US ETPs in Terms of Capital Inflow

A Spot Bitcoin ETF from BlackRock Ranks Among Top US ETPs in Capital Inflows

A spot Bitcoin ETF offered by BlackRock, a financial giant, has emerged as one of the top five exchange-traded products (ETPs) in the United States based on capital inflows. The cryptocurrency fund, known as IBIT, is ranked in the top 0.16% out of 3,109 US ETPs, according to data from YCharts. However, it missed the first seven trading days of 2024 while awaiting approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Impressive Inflows into BlackRock’s Crypto Fund

Bloomberg senior analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted that IBIT has attracted over $3.19 billion in inflows since its launch. This places BlackRock’s cryptocurrency ETF among the top 0.02% of the largest ETPs globally, considering there are approximately 10,000 existing exchange products.

Fidelity Investments’ Crypto Fund also Gains Traction

Another successful spot Bitcoin ETF is Fidelity Investments’ crypto fund, which has seen inflows of $2.51 billion since its launch. Analysts note that both BlackRock and Fidelity’s crypto funds are outperforming other spot Bitcoin ETFs offered by competing companies.

Grayscale Investments Remains Dominant Despite Losses

Grayscale Investments’ cryptocurrency ETF stands as an exception, with losses exceeding $6.1 billion. Nevertheless, it remains the largest asset holder among all crypto funds, managing a total of $20 billion in funds for its spot Bitcoin ETF.

Hot Take: BlackRock and Fidelity Lead the Way in Spot Bitcoin ETF Inflows

The spot Bitcoin ETFs offered by BlackRock and Fidelity Investments have gained significant traction, attracting billions of dollars in capital inflows. BlackRock’s IBIT ranks among the top five ETPs in the US, while Fidelity’s crypto fund is also experiencing substantial success. These two companies are outperforming their competitors in terms of inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs. However, Grayscale Investments remains the largest asset holder despite facing losses in its cryptocurrency ETF. The growing popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs highlights the increasing mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.
