BlackRock, the world’s leading asset manager, will launch its iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in mid-November 2025. This move marks a major step towards mainstreaming Bitcoin integration within financial markets worldwide. The new ETF provides Australian investors with a regulated and convenient way to access Bitcoin without direct ownership risks, mirroring the success of its U.S.-based counterpart. It is expected to list under ticker IBIT and will carry an annual management fee of 0.39%. The fund will utilize BlackRock’s existing iShares Bitcoin Trust structure, currently managing over $98 billion in assets since its debut in January 2024.
