BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Sees Record Inflows, Surpassing Gold ETF in 2025

While gold has seen strong gains throughout 2025, institutional investors are showing increasing trust in Bitcoin. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has received nearly $7 billion in inflows this year, exceeding the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the world’s largest gold ETF. This signifies a significant shift as institutions see Bitcoin’s long-term potential despite short-term volatility.
