IBIT Share Price Jumps 3.5%

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have initiated a new inflow streak, quietly gaining momentum. Over the past six trading days, these funds have attracted $1.8 billion in fresh investments, bringing the total inflows for the year to approximately $11 billion.

As a result, the IBIT share price also gained momentum with 3.5% gains on Monday, moving past the crucial resistance of $60. In recent weeks, IBIT has been seeing strong trading activity. From the April lows of $44, the stock is already up by more than 40%, crossing $60.

However, if inflows into BlackRock Bitcoin ETF continue, the IBIT share price can gather momentum further. Currently, Bitcoin price is trading 1% up at $107,368 levels. Any move to its all-time highs could lead to greater institutional inflows in the ETFs.
