7/10/2025 – Bitcoin ETFs See $1.2B Inflows as BlackRock’s IBIT Leads Gains
U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $1.2 billion net inflow on Monday, marking the seventh time inflows have exceeded $1 billion, according to Farside data. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for most of the activity, drawing $970 million alone.
Historically, $1 billion inflows have often coincided with short-term Bitcoin tops:
- March 12, 2024: Bitcoin peaked near $74,000 two days later.
- November 2024: ETF inflows preceded a rally above $100,000, topping in December.
- January 17, 2025: $1B inflow came before a local top near $109,000.
- July 10–11, 2025: Consecutive $1B inflows preceded a $123,000 peak on July 14.
On Monday, Bitcoin briefly rose above $126,000, trading near $124,000 at the time of writing, leaving the market watching for potential new highs.
IBIT: BlackRock’s Top-Earning ETF
According to Bloomberg ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas, IBIT is now BlackRock’s most profitable ETF, generating an estimated $244.5 million annually from nearly $100 billion in assets under management (AUM). Remarkably, the fund reached $100B AUM in just 435 days, compared to 2,011 days for Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO).
Strong inflows and rapid growth highlight IBIT’s role as a leading vehicle for institutional Bitcoin exposure, signaling robust demand for crypto ETFs as Bitcoin trades near record levels.
