Blackrock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) is growing its wings rapidly after culminating Bitcoins in big numbers, recording $266 million inflows on June 16, and it has also hit the $50 billion inflows mark since it was introduced. In the BTC ETF market, IBIT holds around 54% dominance. The data from Trader T reveals that BlackRock’s IBIT took around 2,464 Bitcoins, worth $264 million.

Smashing The Rivals
The data also mentions that BlackRock entirely smashes the competition with its rival, Fidelity’s FBTC, having only $11.6 billion in inflows since its introduction. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have started to witness a new inflow streak, which is also gaining momentum. In the last six trading days, these funds have accumulated $1.8 billion in fresh investments, taking the overall inflows for the year to around $11 billion. This led to gaining momentum of IBIT share with 3.5% gains on the same day.
It has also moved past the notable resistance of $60. In the past few weeks, IBIT has witnessed strong trading activity. From the April lows of $44, the stock is so far up by 40% and has crossed $60. Also, if inflows into BlackRock Bitcoin ETF remain positive, the IBIT share price can accumulate further momentum. At the current scenario, the price of Bitcoin is hovering to make a new all-time high anytime, and any such move will further lead to greater institutional inflows in the ETFs.
At the press time, BTC is 0.28% down in the past 24 hours and is standing at $106,794. However, the trading volume in 24 hours is 25.63% up and is at $52.1 billion.
