Blackrock Pins Bitcoin ETF as Major Investment Theme

BlackRock says its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund was one in all its three largest funding themes in 2025, placing it alongside Treasury payments and the biggest US tech shares.

The asset supervisor named its iShares Bitcoin Belief ETF (IBIT) alongside its ETF monitoring Treasury payments and one other tied to the “Magnificent 7” tech shares, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla.

IBIT has attracted greater than $25  billion in internet inflows this yr, rating sixth amongst all ETFs and trailing broad index funds, regardless of the fund delivering a adverse return thus far for 2025.

Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Administration, mentioned on Monday that BlackRock naming IBIT’s alerts the agency isn’t fazed by Bitcoin’s (BTC) 30% fall from its excessive set in October.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas echoed the same sentiment on Friday, saying if the ETF “can do $25 billion in a nasty yr, think about the stream potential in an excellent yr.”

The $25 billion in inflows provides to the roughly $37 billion that IBIT introduced in over 2024, bringing its complete inflows since launch to $62.5 billion, Farside Traders information reveals.
