BlackRock has revealed that its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) now holds over 631,000 BTC, worth approximately $65 billion.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have played a major role in driving this upward momentum. Collectively, they now hold more than 6% of Bitcoin’s total supply, around 1.26 million BTC. BlackRock’s IBIT alone has generated nearly $3 billion in daily trading volume and has averaged over $100 million in Bitcoin purchases per day since its launch.
Its inflows this year are nearly twice as high as those of the gold ETF (GLD), underlining a shift in investor preference toward digital assets.
Over the past month, Bitcoin ETFs have seen $6.5 billion added to their assets under management, pushing the total AUM of spot Bitcoin ETFs to a new global record of $131.08 billion. This continued growth points to rising institutional interest and broader acceptance of cryptocurrency-based investment vehicles.
Ethereum investment products have also gained momentum, with $205 million in inflows last week. This was supported by optimism around Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade and recent leadership changes that strengthened investor confidence. Meanwhile, funds focused on Layer 2 networks have also seen notable activity. Arbitrum attracted $512 million in new capital, and Optimism brought in $49 million.
