BlackRock Smashes Records: $14.1B Floods Into Digital Assets in Q2 2025—$79.6B Now Under Management
Wall Street's crypto embrace just hit hyperdrive. BlackRock—the $10 trillion gorilla of asset management—reported a staggering $14.1 billion rushing into digital assets last quarter. Their crypto AUM now towers at $79.6 billion, proving even boomer money loves blockchain when the returns are juicy enough.
The institutional dam has broken. After years of faux skepticism, traditional finance is all-in on crypto—provided they can charge 2-and-20 for the privilege. BlackRock's ETF suite alone vacuumed up 63% of Q2's inflows, turning 'volatile' crypto into just another line item on pension fund statements.
Meanwhile, crypto natives shrug. 'Welcome to the party, suits,' tweeted pseudonymous analyst ByteSizeBets. 'Took you only 16 years to discover yield.' The real test comes when—not if—the next 50% correction hits and C-suite fingers hover over the 'sell' button.
BlackRock Sees $14.1 Billion in Inflows to Spot Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs in Q2 2025
According to their recent earnings report, BlackRock, which focuses solely on spot bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and does not offer products for other altcoins, reported $14.1 billion in net inflows into its spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Q2 2025.
This influx boosted its digital assets under management (AUM) to $79.6 billion. The growth signals that crypto assets are becoming a big part of global finance, buoying capital flow into some of the best meme coin ICOs. Wall Street is increasingly monitoring the space, and institutions are eager to gain exposure to these non-yielding assets.
As expected, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) accounted for the majority of inflows, driving growth and redefining the global ETF landscape as the fastest-growing ETF in history.
Data shows IBIT currently manages $84.16 billion as of July 15, with steady inflows since June 9. Meanwhile, its ETHA product for spot Ethereum ETFs manages $6.6 billion, with consistent inflows since July 3.
Their spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products collectively manage over $90 billion. However, according to official SEC filings, their total stood at $79.6 billion in Q2 2025, representing just 1% of BlackRock’s $12.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM).
In Q2 2025, BlackRock earned $40 million in fees as net inflows ROSE by $14.1 billion.
The Trend Will Only Continue
With rising crypto prices, including those of the top solana meme coins, investors are increasingly exploring regulated assets like spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

On July 15, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of over $402 million, while spot Ethereum ETFs recorded over $192 million in net flows.
AsBTC ▲2.02% prices rally, IBIT will only continue to break records. It became the first ETF to reach $80 billion in AUM in less than two years.
In comparison, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) took nearly six years to reach this milestone.
IBIT currently holds over 717,000 BTC, or 3.4% of the total Bitcoin supply, surpassing MicroStrategy’s 601,550 BTC but trailing Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet, which holds 1 million BTC.
Beyond rising crypto prices, the Donald TRUMP administration’s policies encourage institutional investment in digital assets.
Proposals for a Bitcoin Reserve in the United States and reduced regulatory barriers are boosting investor confidence.
This is further supported by Donald Trump’s Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which has taken steps to launch spot Bitcoin ETFs.

In early June, TMTG filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC to launch the Trust Social Bitcoin ETF.
A month earlier, NYSE Arca filed a 19b-4 FORM for Yorkville America Digital, a close TMTG partner.
