BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led U.S. ETF inflows with $3.5 billion, helping Bitcoin climb past $122,000 and signaling renewed institutional appetite for regulated crypto products. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led U.S. ETFs with $3.5 billion in inflows, representing roughly 10% of total U.S. ETF cash last week. Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged seven consecutive days of positive inflows, highlighting a steady return of institutional confidence. IBIT is approaching $100 billion in assets under management (AUM), strengthening BlackRock’s position across ETF and digital asset markets. What drove BlackRock’s IBIT to lead weekly U.S. ETF inflows? BlackRock IBIT led weekly U.S. ETF inflows with about $3.5 billion as institutional investors favored regulated spot Bitcoin exposure. Market participants cited broad allocation to spot Bitcoin ETFs, inflows across multiple products, and macro uncertainty as near-term drivers. How large were the ETF inflows and which funds stood out? On October 7, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded sizable net inflows, with IBIT reporting approximately $899.4 million on that single day. Total net inflows for all spot Bitcoin ETFs reached roughly $875.6 million on the same day, while some funds such as GBTC experienced smaller outflows amid rebalancing. Why are institutional investors returning to spot Bitcoin ETFs? Institutional demand is rising because spot Bitcoin ETFs offer regulated, custody-backed exposure inside familiar ETF wrappers. This reduces operational friction for large allocators and aligns digital assets with existing portfolio governance. Authoritative market commentary from Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas and industry data providers underscore the trend (mentioned here as plain text source references). How did Bitcoin’s price react to ETF flow momentum? Bitcoin traded above $122,000 during the inflow surge, reflecting a 1.09% 24-hour gain and about a 7.55% weekly rise (TradingView data referenced as plain text). The price move correlates with concentrated spot ETF purchases and broader market positioning amid macro uncertainty.
