The Bitcoin ETF boom shows no signs of slowing down.
As of this week, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have crossed a whopping $50 billion in net inflows, just 18 months after their January 2024 debut — a landmark moment in crypto’s journey to mainstream adoption.
📊 Who’s Leading the Pack?
🔹 BlackRock’s IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF) has emerged as the dominant force, pulling in $53 billion in net inflows.
🔹 Fidelity’s FBTC (Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund) follows with $12.29 billion.
🔻 Grayscale’s GBTC, once the leader, has seen a net outflow of $23.34 billion, dampening overall momentum.
These figures were compiled by Farside Investors and highlight the massive appetite from institutional and retail investors for regulated Bitcoin exposure.
🏆 IBIT Hits 700K BTC Milestone
BlackRock’s IBIT isn’t just leading — it’s crushing it:
-
Holds over 700,000 BTC
-
Controls 55% of all spot Bitcoin ETF assets
-
Now earns more revenue than BlackRock’s flagship S&P 500 fund on an annual basis
This signals a seismic shift in investor sentiment — Bitcoin is becoming a core holding in diversified portfolios.
🏢 Corporates Join the Bitcoin Rush
It’s not just ETFs making headlines. Corporate treasuries are also doubling down on Bitcoin:
-
🇯🇵 Metaplanet: Bought $237M BTC, holding 15,500+ BTC
-
🇫🇷 The Blockchain Group: Added $12.5M BTC
-
🇬🇧 Smarter Web Company: Purchased $24.3M BTC
-
🇯🇵 Remixpoint: Raised $215M to acquire 3,000 BTC
This corporate Bitcoin wave is reminiscent of MicroStrategy’s early moves — but now, it’s going global.
📈 Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High
On Wednesday, BTC soared past $112,000, marking a new all-time high and triggering $200 million in liquidations from short sellers.
“See you at $150K,” one Bitcoin bull posted after the breakout.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) is also heating up:
-
ETH is up 6.6% in 24 hours
-
Trading at $2,778
-
Analysts predict a push past $3,000 soon
🔮 What’s Next?
