ETF Climbs Global Rankings Amid Bitcoin Price Rise
The ETF has moved up to become the 21st-largest ETF globally. Its development has been fueled by the entering capital, as well as by the increase in value of Bitcoin. Recently, IBIT has already accumulated more than 700,000 BTC, i.e., roughly 3.55 percent of all existing Bitcoin. This amount highlights the expanding power that it has had in the digital asset market.
Data shared by Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas reveals IBIT reached this milestone five times faster than any other ETF. Comparisons show that ETFs like IEFA and IEMG took over 2,000 days to reach $80 billion. In comparison, IBIT’s performance sets a new benchmark for ETF growth timelines, especially among alternative asset-based funds.
