BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has surpassed its global TradFi competitors amid the substantial excitement that the crypto market generated this week.
BlackRock, an investment asset management firm, has established its Bitcoin ETF, which has rendered its competitors obsolete. The Blackrock Bitcoin ETF has outperformed 13,227 counterparts worldwide with an inflow of $2.2 billion this past week.
The Global Lead and BlackRock Bitcoin ETF
Eric Balchunas, a Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, observed that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) generated more currency than any other ETF at the global level. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV), and iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) are among the funds that were demoted to the backdrop.
BlackRock IBIT’s weekly flow of $2.287 billion was closely followed by Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND) at $2.253 billion. This accomplishment is regarded as a significant milestone for the asset manager, as the Blackrock Bitcoin ETF is only nine months old.
IBIT’s trading volume reaches a six-month peak of $3.3 billion on Tuesday. The consistent magnitude of the inflows indicates that institutional Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has taken hold. This is reasonable in light of the fact that the United States Presidential Election is imminent.
Balchunas also acknowledged in a subsequent X post that ETFs in the United States are currently within $100 billion of the all-time annual flow record.
The funds could reach $970 billion, which is within reach of $1 trillion, if this $4 billion per day momentum is maintained. The US Bitcoin ETFs have the potential to surpass their previous benchmark of $910 billion at this juncture.
ETF’s Influence on Bitcoin’s Value
In the past few days, Bitcoin (BTC) has demonstrated a significant recovery, particularly in light of its recent price peak of $73,300. The Bitcoin price formed a “golden cross” on-chain charts, which suggests that the best is yet to come.
A potential trend continuation is indicated by the Golden Cross, a bullish indicator that is formed when the 30-DMA crosses above the 365-DMA. It typically serves as an indicator that a new rally is imminent.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $69,911.07, as indicated by CoinMarketCap data, following a 3.93% decline over the past 24 hours. The flagship cryptocurrency remains within 5% of its most recent all-time high (ATH). BlackRock may have an impact on the future valuation of the coin if it continues to maintain its substantial Bitcoin ETF inflows.
In other words, the fund’s ongoing accumulation of Bitcoin could result in a supply shortage that has the potential to drive the price of BTC in the long term.
