BlackRock Crypto Funds Outperform Peers with $3.3 Billion Q1 Inflows

BlackRock, a leading asset manager, reported $3.35 billion in inflows into its digital assets ETFs during the first quarter of 2025, representing an 83% drop compared to the previous quarter. Despite this decline, the firm’s digital assets investment products still saw positive inflows, exceeding those of most competitors. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink attributed this success to the firm’s adaptability and its ability to navigate market uncertainty. In a statement accompanying the report, he stated: ‘Uncertainty and anxiety about the future of markets and the economy are dominating client conversations. We’ve seen periods like this before when there were large, structural shifts in policy and markets – like the financial crisis, COVID, and surging inflation in 2022.’ BlackRock’s success is attributed to a combination of factors, including its position as a leader in the digital assets space and its low management fees. Despite the overall market uncertainty, BlackRock continues to attract investors seeking exposure to cryptocurrencies through its ETFs.
