BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Shatters Expectations: Top 4 in 2025 ETF Inflows

Wall Street's crypto love affair hits new highs as BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF storms into the top 4 ETF inflows this year—proving even traditional finance can't resist digital gold.

The institutional stampede continues

With inflows punching above weight class, the ETF is outperforming 96% of its competitors. Who said boomers don't understand blockchain?

A cynical footnote

Meanwhile, hedge funds still can't decide if Bitcoin is a hedge or a ponzi scheme—but they'll happily collect fees either way.

So far this year, IBIT has pulled in $13.7 billion in new money. That puts it behind SGOV with $19.7 billion, VTI with $19.3 billion, and far behind Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which leads all ETFs with $82 billion in 2025 inflows.

Balchunas shared on X, “$IBIT has taken over 4th place on the YTD Flow leaderboard. Passing $SPLG. What’s also wild is IBIT is 5th in 3yr flows (despite only being alive for 1.5yrs).”

Moreover, the ETF has seen inflows for nine days in a row than other bitcoin ETFs. On June 17, it brought in $639.2 million in one day, and ended with same week with $46.9 million in net inflows. 

From June 4 to June 20, IBIT added over $2.6 billion, based on data from Farside Investor. Other days saw big flows too, like $336.7 million on June 10, $288.3 million on June 12, and $278.9 million on June 18. The strong streak helped IBIT beat out rivals like Fidelity’s FBTC and Ark’s ARKB, which saw outflows on many of those same days.

According to Arkham Intelligence, BlackRock’s crypto ETFs have now surpassed $72 billion in assets under management. Moreover, in the crypto ETF market, the asset manager is leading inflows since the launch of its IBIT and ETHA ETFs.
