BlackRock (New York Stock Exchange: BLACK) iShares bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) has surpassed $10 billion in assets under management just seven weeks after the fund began trading.
The milestone comes after the bitcoin spot ETF (btc-USD) recorded its second-biggest day of inflows on Thursday, raising $603.9 million and with more than 161,000 bitcoins, since its debut on January 11, BitMEX Research wrote in an X post.
Fidelity Wise Origin bitcoin Fund ETF (BATS: FBTC) ranked second with $6.3 billion in assets. In third place, the Ark Invest 21-Stock bitcoin ETF (BATS: ARKB) has about $2.1 billion in assets under management.
Meanwhile, offsetting the inflows, Grayscale bitcoin Trust (NYSERCA:GBTC) suffered capital outflows worth $598.9 million. Europe's largest bitcoin (btc-USD) funds have also seen higher outflows in recent days.
“This is likely due primarily to the shift to US ETFs, but also perhaps some profit taking,” BitMEX Research wrote.
Collectively, net inflows to US spot bitcoin ETFs (btc-USD) fell to $92.4 million on Thursday from a record $673.4 million the previous day.
In mid-afternoon trading on Friday, the price of bitcoin (btc-USD) rose up to 0.8% to $62.1k, on track for a ~8% rise for the week ending March 1.
