BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) ranks among the top three investment themes in 2025, accumulating over $25 billion in net inflows despite a negative return. Nate Geraci and Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas express confidence in IBIT’s potential despite Bitcoin’s 30% dip from its high in October.
IBIT has attracted $25 billion in inflows this year and $62.5 billion since its launch, surpassing competitors like Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund. BlackRock also filed for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF and recently registered an iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) that has seen over $9.1 billion in inflows in 2025.
BlackRock has filed for an iShares Staked Ethereum ETF to complement ETHA, capitalizing on the SEC’s loosened ETF standards. While BlackRock has not joined the altcoin ETF trend, other asset managers have introduced products for Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP in recent months.
