BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is a success story. With $244 million in annual revenue, the ETF brings in the most money of any index fund to the asset manager's coffers.
On X, Bloomberg ETF expert Eric Balchunas writes: “IBIT is just a stone's throw from $100 billion and is now, based on current assets under management, by a wide margin the most profitable ETF for BlackRock. Look at the age of the rest of the top 10. Absurd.”

While ETFs like the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF have significantly larger fund volumes, they've also been around for much longer. Considering its short existence, the Bitcoin ETF is the most successful ETF in stock market history.
Meanwhile, inflows into index funds continue unabated. Yesterday, Monday, October 6, $1.21 billion flowed into index funds from BlackRock and others, the highest inflow since November 2024.
While Bitcoin ETFs provide investors with access to the market, they do not offer advantages such as censorship resistance.
Therefore, investors should invest in Bitcoin on regulated exchanges like Kraken, where BTC can be easily and inexpensively transferred to their own wallets.
