Big milestone for Bitcoin today and worth paying attention to 👀

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF just crossed $80 billion in assets, and it did it faster than any ETF in history.

What does that mean? 🤔

An ETF (exchange-traded fund) is basically a way for everyday investors to buy Bitcoin without having to deal with wallets, private keys, or exchanges. You just buy it like a stock in your brokerage account.

What’s crazy here is how fast the money flowed in. Look at the chart. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (orange line) hit $80B in just 374 days. Compare that to other massive ETFs like the S&P 500 (blue), international funds (green and pink), which took years to reach the same milestone.

This shows two important things.

✔️ There’s massive institutional and retail demand for Bitcoin.

✔️ People want easier ways to get exposure to Bitcoin, and ETFs make that possible.

But should you buy Bitcoin through an ETF or hold it yourself? Here are two big pros and cons to consider.

✅ Pros of a Bitcoin ETF:

✔️ Super easy to buy and sell with no learning curve

✔️ No need to worry about wallets, keys, or self-custody

⚠️ Cons of a Bitcoin ETF:

❌ You don’t actually own the Bitcoin, just shares in a fund

❌ You can’t use your Bitcoin on the network like sending it, staking, or using Lightning

❌ And the classic rule applies here: not your keys, not your crypto. If the fund has issues or shuts down, you’re just another creditor. You don’t actually hold the Bitcoin yourself

Bitcoin isn’t just a speculative bet anymore. It’s becoming a recognized part of global portfolios. Pretty wild to see it happening this fast.

Further evidence of the shift in finance and how times are changing. This positions TSC perfectly for the evolution in the RWA sector. 🙌🏼
