BlackRock Sees Bitcoin Sentiment Turning as ETF Inflows Surge
BLK sits 23% above its 52-week low of $917.39.
Summary
BlackRock's digital assets head says bitcoin sentiment is shifting, with the cryptocurrency decoupling from equities — a healthy sign for its diversification thesis. Last week, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in $853.5 million, the best since mid-April, and BlackRock's IBIT captured over 80% of that. The Coldcard hack may be accelerating a move from self-custody into ETFs. This follows BlackRock's recent launch of spot bitcoin ETFs and a new bitcoin income ETF filing, reinforcing its push into crypto products. The inflow data and executive commentary suggest growing institutional comfort with bitcoin as a portfolio asset.
At the time of this announcement, BLK was trading at $1,128.12 on NYSE in the Crypto Assets sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $183.3B.
