BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, saw a surge of investor interest in Q1 2025, with assets under management increasing by 3% to reach $11.6 trillion. This was driven by strong demand for iShares ETFs and the growing appetite for alternative investments, including digital currencies. While Bitcoin ETF markets faced volatility, BlackRock saw a remarkable influx of $3 billion into its digital asset-focused ETFs during the quarter. This shows sustained interest in crypto investment vehicles despite market fluctuations.
