BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Sees Massive $971M Inflows Amid Market Optimism

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF recorded $971 million in inflows on Monday, marking a significant boost amid outflows from other Bitcoin ETFs. ARK 21Shares suffered the largest loss at $226 million, while overall Bitcoin ETFs experienced a $591 million net inflow. Institutional interest in Bitcoin is rising, suggesting a strong outlook for the cryptocurrency and its associated ETFs.

In a striking development, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) saw a significant surge of $971 million in inflows on Monday, making it the second-highest single-day inflow since its launch back in January 2024. This influx is particularly noteworthy as it seems to counterbalance the outflows being experienced by other Bitcoin ETFs. For example, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) suffered a hefty loss of $226 million in one day.

Alongside ARKB, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) also recorded outflows of $87 million and $43 million respectively. In contrast, IBIT stood as the only Bitcoin ETF to gain ground on Monday, reflecting a net inflow of $591 million across Bitcoin ETFs overall. This suggests a renewed investor confidence in Bitcoin as a hedge against economic instability.

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, noted that institutional players are closely monitoring Bitcoin to assess its viability as a safe haven asset. The ongoing resilience of Bitcoin, particularly during times when confidence in the U.S. dollar wanes, has only heightened demand for Bitcoin ETFs in recent days.

This substantial inflow comes right on the heels of a recent week where Bitcoin ETFs also recorded their second-largest inflow in 2025. As Bitcoin continues to trade above the pivotal $94,000 threshold, it seems to maintain bullish momentum, even amidst broader market fluctuations.

Market experts now speculate that BlackRock’s IBIT could potentially become the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF if this trend maintains its course. With increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin and strong inflows into major ETFs, the cryptocurrency landscape appears well-positioned for additional growth as we approach 2025.
