BlackRock’s funds now hold a combined $21.22 billion, slightly more than Grayscale’s $21.20 billion.
For the very first time in history, the Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offered by BlackRock have now overtaken the ETF offerings provided by Grayscale in terms of assets under management (AUM).
BlackRock’s IBIT and ETHA have seen substantial inflows since their debut, contributing to this accomplishment. Grayscale, on the other hand, is falling behind even though GBTC and ETHE experienced significant withdrawals, despite the fact that the micro-ETFs registered inflows.
BlackRock Vs. Grayscale ETF AUM Details
Arkham Intelligence reports that the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that BlackRock manages, namely IBIT and ETHA, have a combined value of $21.22 billion at the present time.
Comparatively, Grayscale’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which include GBTC, BTC Mini, ETHE, and ETH Mini have a total holding of $21.20 billion, respectively. As a result of this progress, BlackRock’s holdings now surpass Grayscale ETF assets under management for the very first time.
As a result, BlackRock is now the largest cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider in the world. The IBIT Bitcoin ETF is in the lead, with an asset under management (AUM) of $20.54 billion and 348,609 BTC.
Conversely, the asset management’s Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) boasts a total of 318,180 ETH and possesses $847 million. Even though it has been a pioneer in the cryptocurrency investment field for a very long time, Grayscale continues to have a significant presence.
Grayscale Bitcoin ETF (GBTC), the company’s flagship product, alone has an impressive $13.17 billion in assets under management (AUM). In addition, the Ethereum Trust (ETHE) of the investment firm has a total holding of $4.82 billion, including $924 million in the ETH Mini ETF.
On the other hand, the comparison between the cryptocurrency holdings of both ETF issuers is a complicated one. Although BlackRock has not been able to surpass Grayscale’s total balance, Arkham Intelligence notes that this is not the case.
Grayscale includes its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC), with approximately $460 million in assets under management, in its total balance. This boosts the fund’s overall assets, which primarily consist of 93.29% Bitcoin and ETH.
