🚀 BlackRock's Bitcoin Trust Sees Significant Inflows Amid Market Dynamics Investors directed $269.3 million into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust on Thursday, marking its most successful day since early March, coinciding with the escalation of the US-Iran conflict. According to Cointelegraph, this influx helped reverse two days of net outflows among the 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, culminating in a net inflow of $358.1 million. Bitcoin ETF inflows serve as a measure of both retail and institutional interest in Bitcoin. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with $53.3 million in inflows, while the newly launched Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) contributed $14.9 million on its second trading day, as reported by Farside Investors. Bitwise and ARK 21Shares' Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $11.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, while Franklin Templeton and VanEck’s Bitcoin products recorded around $2 million. Since March 23, BlackRock’s IBIT has accumulated $1.5 billion in net inflows, despite a broader crypto market downturn that saw Bitcoin's price drop from a 2026 high of $97,000 to $72,100. Robert Mitchnick, BlackRock’s digital assets head, remarked in March that IBIT investors tend to be "disproportionately long-term buy and hold" investors, even amid significant selling pressure in the Bitcoin market. Meanwhile, Amy Oldenburg, Morgan Stanley’s digital asset head, highlighted in a Bloomberg interview that MSBT was the bank’s most successful ETF launch to date. She noted, "This is just the first of a long roadmap of new products on the asset management side." Morgan Stanley has also filed to list a staked Ether (ETH) ETF and Solana (SOL) ETF. With the recent inflows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are nearing a year-to-date net inflow. The Bitcoin ETFs concluded 2025 with $56.59 billion in net inflows and currently stand at $56.51 billion, just $80 million shy of returning to their initial inflow figures for the year. #BlackRock#BitcoinTrust#BitcoinETF#MarketInflows#Fidelity#MorganStanley#Cryptocurrency#Bitcoin#ETFs#Investment#DigitalAssets#USIranConflict#CryptoMarket#BTC#ETH#SOL
