BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Extends Market Lead with Record AuMs and Strong Inflows
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has reached a record $91.06 billion in assets under management (AuM), setting a new benchmark for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data from SoSoValue shows IBIT’s cumulative net inflows at $58.04 billion as of August 13, despite no single-day net inflows on that date. The ETF’s market price closed at $69.84, trading at a 0.57% premium to its net asset value.
The fund currently holds 3.72% of the overall Bitcoin supply, putting it in a stronger position as the market leader. IBIT also reported 54.82 million shares on August 13 with its value reaching a total of $3.79 billion.
Such a steady inflow is evidence that the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is a popular vehicle for investors. Both institutional and retail participants use it to gain exposure to Bitcoin in a regulated manner.
IBIT has achieved some of the largest inflow milestones since its inception in January 2024. It garnered more than $5 billion in net inflows in its debut month, more than any other U.S. ETF that year launched in that month.
BlackRock IBIT reached $80 billion in cumulative net inflows by mid-July 2025, confirming its lead over competitors. The latest achievement of $58.04 billion cumulative inflows highlights its unparalleled growth trend in the industry.
Besides the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, other U.S. Bitcoin ETFs also posted significant asset totals. Fidelity’s FBTC ranks second with $24.77 billion in assets and $12.07 billion in cumulative net inflows. Grayscale’s GBTC holds $22.18 billion despite recording $23.72 billion in cumulative outflows.
Ark Invest’s ARKB manages $5.58 billion, while Bitwise’s BITB holds $5.02 billion. BlackRock’s lead remains substantial, with IBIT’s asset base nearly quadruple that of its nearest competitor.
Hot Inflation Data Triggers Sharp Bitcoin Pullback from Record Highs
Bitcoin’s market performance has played a crucial role in pushing BlackRock Bitcoin ETF and other ETFs’ valuations to record highs. On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency surged to a new all‑time high near $124,000. That rally was largely fueled by optimism around a potential 25 basis point U.S. rate cut, with traders heavily pricing in monetary easing.
Nonetheless, the situation changed drastically as the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data for July was released. Bitcoin dropped lower than $118,000 from its previous high as traders responded to the latest hotter-than-expected inflation figures.
The sell-off eliminated more than $930 million in leveraged positions, and caused more than $1 billion in crypto liquidations over 24 hours.
