Bitcoin ETF Mania: BlackRock’s $80 Billion Heist Revealed! 💰🚀

by

On the rather nondescript morning of July 10, as the world stirred to life and coffee brewed in homes everywhere, inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs decided to throw a party, surging to a whopping $1.175 billion. Who was leading this financial frenzy, you ask? Why none other than the illustrious BlackRock iShares Ethereum Trust (IBIT), of course. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) continued its rapid ascent, climbing another 6% and merrily nestling itself at $118,000, while the net assets under management (AUM) for this gleaming Bitcoin ETF rocketed past an astonishing $80 billion. With a treasure chest now holding a staggering 706,000 BTC, it seems they could build a small fort out of digital gold if they wanted.

As for institutional participation in Bitcoin, well, if it were a party, it would be BYOB—Bring Your Own Bitcoin. The broader crypto market seems to be preparing for the ‘crypto Week’ revival, starting on July 14, and things are heating up beautifully:

  • BTC: $115,951
  • 24h volatility: 4.2%
  • Market cap: $2.31 trillion (that’s trillion with a T, not to be confused with the one that’s just a fancy ‘illion’)
  • 24h volume: $56.12 billion

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF AUM Hits $80 Billion

In case you missed it, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) just obliterated the competition by raking in $80 billion in assets under management. I mean, who knew that crypto would turn into the fastest-growing ETF since the invention of the toaster? According to intel from ZeroHedge, the total AUM has tripled over a mere 200 trading days, which is faster than my neighbor’s cat can take a nap. For perspective, it took the SPDR Gold Shares ETF, you know, the original heavyweight of the gold world, over 15 years to hit a similar milestone. Talk about a snooze fest.

BREAKING: The Bitcoin ETF, $IBIT, has shattered all records with $76 billion in assets under management. Well, they’re just warming up, aren’t they?

The total assets have TRIPLED in the last ~200 trading days, as revealed by ZeroHedge. For comparison’s sake, it took the biggest gold ETF, $GLD, over 15 years to reach this pivotal point. $IBIT’s Bitcoin…

Oh, and speaking of records, IBIT also topped the 700,000 BTC holding mark for the first time ever. This is twice the amount of what Strategy has, which I won’t even pretend to understand. Thanks to Farside Investors’ data, net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs are also hovering around $53.4 billion. Not too shabby, eh?

Bloomberg’s sharp-eyed ETF strategist Eric Balchunas gleefully reported that the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has clocked a staggering $5 billion in daily trading volume—double its daily average. And yesterday? Oh, just a casual $3.5 billion. No biggie. If you’re a fan of romantic comedies, it feels like the moment when the underdog finally starts winning.

Today was a huge volume day for $IBIT, hitting $5 billion (2x avg) after $3.5 billion yesterday. Such spikes usually indicate “big boy flows” from institutional investors. It’s also a hair away from hitting that glorious $80 billion mark.

Adding to the suspense, IBIT’s share price is cruising upwards to $66 in after-hours trading. Analysts are speculating that it might even jump to $77-$80 soon. Will it ascend? Will it read our minds? Stay tuned!

BTC Price Rally Continues

The Bitcoin price fever has not just reached a boiling point; it’s practically simmering with excitement. Earlier today, it soared past $118,000, with daily trading volumes bursting through the ceiling at more than $108 billion. Bullish sentiment? You betcha! Meanwhile, Bitcoin futures open interest has shot up to $83 billion, leaving onlookers both baffled and awestruck.

CryptoQuant analyst, the ever-astute Crypto Dan, noticed that it’s the Binance whales stirring the pot, pumping up Bitcoin’s price.
