BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with over $11.5 trillion in assets under management, has once again demonstrated its deepening commitment to digital assets.
According to on-chain data, BlackRock recently acquired 2,704 BTC (worth approximately $283.9 million) and 28,239 ETH (valued at $73.2 million).
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) sees record inflows
This strategic accumulation comes as BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) rapidly climbs the ranks, now sitting among the top 25 ETFs globally by assets under management, with $72.4 billion amassed in just 1.4 years.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted IBIT’s “record-setting” inflows, $15.5 billion in just the first three months, putting it among the top ten ETFs in history for consistent inflow streaks.
In a further sign of institutional momentum, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) announced it would debut Bitcoin futures linked to BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, available to accredited investors starting June 4, 2025.
This offers Russian institutional clients a regulated channel to gain exposure to Bitcoin without holding the asset directly via a product tied to the world’s most dominant Bitcoin ETF.
