Bitcoin and ETFs: A Financial Revolution
After their approval last January, bitcoin ETFs are experiencing a real boom in the United States, with net cumulative inflows exceeding 17 billion dollars. This figure, verified by Farside Investors, highlights strong demand for these regulated investment vehicles.
BlackRock, with its IBIT ETF, dominates the market, having accumulated nearly 19 billion dollars on its own. Fidelity is not far behind, contributing almost 10 billion dollars in net inflows.
- Record net inflows: Over 17 billion dollars
- Fidelity’s FBTC: 9.962 billion dollars
- Grayscale’s GBTC: A disappointment with net outflows of 18.694 billion dollars
However, not all ETFs are treated equally. Grayscale’s GBTC has undergone substantial net outflows, indicating a shift in investor preference.
Despite daily variations in inflows, interest in these ETFs remains generally stable, as evidenced by the total of 16.59 billion dollars in inflows since their launch in January.
BlackRock: The Leader in Bitcoin ETFs
The astonishing success of BlackRock in the field of bitcoin ETFs is undeniable. Their IBIT fund has recently reached new heights, with assets under management exceeding 20 billion dollars.
This surge is mainly due to the recent acquisition of an additional 4,004 bitcoins and a 3% rise in the price of bitcoin since the markets closed last Monday.
In May, BlackRock had already surpassed this 20 billion mark thanks to a rapid climb of bitcoin towards 70,000 dollars.
As highlighted by an analyst at Farside Investors:
« BlackRock’s performance reflects the growing integration of bitcoin into traditional investment portfolios. »
This trend is confirmed by trading volumes which, although fluctuating, show an increased acceptance of the cryptocurrency in traditional financial circles.
The current price of bitcoin, at 66,994 dollars, remains volatile, having seen a 2.33% decrease since July 17.
Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract massive investments, illustrating the growing interest in digital assets. With record inflows and progressive integration into traditional portfolios, bitcoin is establishing itself as a cornerstone of modern finance.
