BlackRock ranks in top five ETFs

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas in an X post expressed his bullish remarks about BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF. In the post Balchunas wrote that in terms of year-to-date flows, BlackRock’s IBIT is currently among the top five, meaning it has received more money than 99.98% of ETFs.

For a 17-day-old ETF, it seems to be a pretty good performance. However, for those other Bitcoin ETFs, that are a little underperforming, Balchunas had previously said that it might take a little while for them to pick pace, but they will see growth in the future.

Will ETFs grow even further?

According to a recent report by CoinGape, the spot Bitcoin ETF has experienced substantial growth since its inception in US markets, with a total inflow of $1.55 billion. The surge in capital shows how investors are becoming more and more interested in and accepting of digital currencies.

The ETFS had a fantastic first week following its January 11 launch, generating a net inflow of $1.06 billion. With over 100,000 BTC in assets under management (AUM)—which, when Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is taken out of the picture, is believed to be worth US$4 billion—the ETF got off to a great start that demonstrated its initial popularity. As of today, the market has priced in good near-term growth for Bitcoin ETFs.
