BlackRock’s iShares

Trust (IBIT) has become the frontrunner in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) inflows, posting $129 million in net inflows on September 24, 2025, based on SoSoValue’s data. This represented a strong recovery for the fund after experiencing outflows for two days in a row, as institutional interest in Bitcoin picked up again in response to changing macroeconomic trends. With this latest inflow, IBIT’s total net inflows reached $60.78 billion, and its assets under management (AUM) climbed to $87.2 billion, reinforcing its status as the largest Bitcoin ETF by both trading volume and market share.

As of May 2025, BlackRock’s ETF had achieved 19 straight days of inflows—the longest streak of the year—accumulating $1.03 billion in just one trading week. This pattern paralleled Bitcoin’s price rally, which surpassed $90,000 in April and then $100,000 in May, fueled by renewed institutional participation and hopes for clearer U.S. regulations. The fund’s leadership was further highlighted in early September, when it accounted for $887 million in net inflows from September 15 to 19, helping push the total AUM of Bitcoin ETFs to $149.7 billion, or 6.62% of Bitcoin’s total market value.

During this period, BlackRock’s ETF outpaced traditional benchmarks, even exceeding the inflow volume of its own S&P 500 ETF. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed to a “structural shift” in how institutions allocate capital, with Bitcoin increasingly recognized as a core asset class. The surge in iShares Bitcoin Trust inflows was attributed to a mix of macroeconomic influences, such as expectations for Federal Reserve rate reductions, and a rising institutional appetite for digital assets.

The ETF’s results reflect broader market trends, including a growing gap between Bitcoin and

investment products. While Bitcoin ETFs drew in $887 million in September, Ethereum ETFs continued to see outflows, losing $79.4 million on September 24 alone. This difference highlights Bitcoin’s role as the primary entry point for institutional funds in the crypto sector, with BlackRock’s offering capturing a significant portion of these inflows.

Experts warn that these inflow patterns remain vulnerable to shifts in macroeconomic conditions and regulatory changes. The Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut and upcoming inflation reports have added uncertainty, and ongoing concerns about Bitcoin’s scalability and environmental footprint persist. Nevertheless, the ETF’s expansion signals a more mature market, with Bitcoin becoming an increasingly common component in mainstream investment portfolios.
