Bitcoin ETFs are seeing record-breaking inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the charge. As geopolitical tensions ease and investor confidence rises, these funds are becoming the top gateway for institutional Bitcoin exposure.
Bitcoin ETFs Are on Fire
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are having a historic run. In June alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. recorded their biggest daily inflow—$588.6 million. This surge extends an impressive 11-day streak of consistent inflows, the longest since December 2024. Leading the charge is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which brought in a massive $436.3 million on just one day. Fidelity’s FBTC and Bitwise also attracted new capital, while Grayscale’s GBTC continued to lose investor interest. The numbers don’t lie—over $2.2 billion flowed into Bitcoin ETFs in less than two weeks. Clearly, institutional interest in Bitcoin is heating up again.
BlackRock’s IBIT Is a Bitcoin Powerhouse
BlackRock is rewriting the ETF playbook with IBIT. The fund has scooped up more than 130,000 BTC in 2025 alone, putting its total holdings close to 700,000 BTC. That’s over $72 billion in assets under management. It’s no wonder IBIT is now one of the top five ETFs in terms of three-year flows—even though it’s only been live for 1.5 years. The fund also just crossed $14 billion in inflows this year, outperforming traditional giants like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF. According to Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, ETFs, corporations, and governments have bought over 400,000 Bitcoins this year. That’s roughly 2% of Bitcoin’s total supply—BlackRock is leading the charge.
Bitcoin Rallies After Geopolitical Relief
The Bitcoin market got a boost after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. President Trump’s announcement of a “complete and total ceasefire” calmed global tensions, and Bitcoin surged past $106,000. That’s a sharp recovery from recent lows around $98,000. Vincent Liu from Kronos Research called Bitcoin “digital gold,” and it’s easy to see why. Investors are running to it for safety amid global chaos. BlackRock’s IBIT is making this easier by offering a regulated and accessible way to buy in. However, experts like Ray Youssef urge caution. He sees the recent bounce as a “relief rally,” not a confirmed breakout. Markets now await signals from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and upcoming inflation data to confirm the next move.
Bitcoin Demand Grows as IBIT Share Price Climbs
BlackRock’s IBIT is not just attracting inflows—it’s also performing strongly. On Tuesday, the ETF’s share price jumped 2.5%, reclaiming the crucial $60 mark. That reflects investor confidence not just in the ETF, but in Bitcoin’s long-term value. Over 11 trading days, IBIT has absorbed $3 billion in fresh investments. That’s more than most ETFs manage in an entire year. The growing momentum shows that investors are trusting Bitcoin more as part of a diversified portfolio. IBIT’s rapid rise is changing the landscape. Its success pushes Bitcoin deeper into the mainstream investment world. From hedge funds to retail investors, everyone’s watching IBIT.
Nate Geraci: Bitcoin’s ETF Revolution Has Just Begun
Nate Geraci believes we’re just getting started. As head of ETF Store, he has a front-row seat to the growing ETF ecosystem. He points out that more than 400,000 BTC have been purchased by institutional investors this year, and BlackRock’s IBIT is leading that wave. Geraci’s take? The demand for Bitcoin exposure through ETFs is going to keep rising. With macro uncertainty still looming, more investors are turning to simple, secure, and liquid products like IBIT. It’s no longer just about owning crypto—it’s about owning it the smart way. As Bitcoin hovers near $106,000, one thing is clear: ETFs are becoming the gateway to crypto adoption. And BlackRock’s IBIT is the star of the show.
