BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) exchange-traded fund is trading at $27.50, up over 25% in pre-market hours on January 11. The BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF net asset value (NAV) was at $26.12 on the approval date.

BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF is live on their iShares website, Nasdaq, and across 175000 Aladdin investor platforms after the listing. BlackRock announced to reduce the fee to 0.25% and waive a part of the fee for the first 12 months. Thus, the fee will be 0.12% of the net asset value (NAV) of the first $5 billion of the Trust’s assets.

“Through IBIT, investors can access bitcoin in a cost-effective and convenient way,” said Dominik Rohe, head of Americas iShares ETF and Index Investing business at BlackRock.
