BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Surpasses the S&P 500 ETF

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has outpaced the firm’s largest ETF, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV), in annual fee revenue. According to ETF Store President Nate Geraci, IBIT now generates $186 million in annual revenue compared to IVV’s $183 million.

BlackRock’s IBIT, with nearly $75 billion in assets under management (AUM), and 700000 BTC in its kitty, at a 25-basis-point fee, has achieved this feat within just 18 months of its launch. In contrast, the S&P 500 ETF, which boasts $609 billion in AUM, charges a significantly lower fee of 3 basis points.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Cross $2.2 Billion Last Week

On June 27, the net inflows across all US issuers in BTC ETFs stood at a massive $501 billion. However, Fidelity’s FBTC topped the leaderboard with $165 million in inflows, followed by BlackRock’s IBIT at $153 million, and Ark Invest’s ARKB at $150.3 million.

The net weekly inflows across all US ETF issuers have crossed $2.2 billion, as per data from Farside Investors. Inflows into Spot BTC ETFs have remained strong throughout this month of June, marking it one of the best-performing months since inception, with 14 days of consecutive inflows.

As per the recent S&P Global report, there’s a strong demand for Bitcoin ETFs, along with other crypto ETFs currently in the market. Additionally, experts like Nate Geraci believe that a crypto ETF summer is around the corner, with higher chances of approval for the XRP ETF and the Solana ETF.

This week, BlackRock has taken in $112.3 million through its Bitcoin ETF. The asset manager recorded a net inflow of $112.3 million on June 30, while it recorded zero net flows on July 1, according to Farside Investors data.

Bitcoin Price Action Ahead

Despite these massive inflows, Bitcoin price is currently consolidating at $107,500 with bulls and bears currently at a crossroads, as the deadline for the 90-day Trump tariff pause approaches soon.

However, the inflows into BTC ETFs suggest that institutional players remain confident about a possible Bitcoin rally in the making. Popular crypto trader Arthur Hayes stated that Bitcoin’s all-time high is coming soon, citing reasons like US Treasury SLR exemption, GENIUS Stablecoin Act, and reducing geopolitical tensions.
