BlackRock’s Bitcoin Bet Pays Off: 31-Day IBIT Inflow Streak Hits $72B Amid BTC Stability

Wall Street’s love affair with Bitcoin just got steamier. BlackRock’s IBIT fund notches a month-long inflow spree as BTC’s price quiets down—proving once again that institutional money follows calm, not chaos.

Who said volatility was crypto’s selling point? Turns out, even suits prefer their digital gold without the rollercoaster—as long as the numbers keep climbing.

Funny how $72 billion can make traditional finance forget its ’blockchain not Bitcoin’ mantra overnight.

ETF Store President Nate Geraci pointed out that IBIT now ranks among the top five ETFs by year-to-date inflows across a universe of more than 4,200 US-listed funds.

Market observers point to declining volatility and improving market sentiment as key drivers behind IBIT’s appeal.

Bloomberg ETF strategist Eric Balchunas noted that the fund’s 90-day rolling volatility has reached its lowest level since inception. This trend, paired with Bitcoin’s steady price gains, is drawing in larger asset allocators.

Balchunas highlighted that IBIT’s flow dominance in recent weeks significantly outpaces other crypto-related ETFs, suggesting it has become the go-to choice for institutional players seeking bitcoin exposure without excessive risk.

Investment manager Mike Shell of ASYMMETRY added that IBIT is beginning to behave more like a mature, institutional-grade asset.

According to him, the asset is not acting like a speculative crypto token but more like a digital store of value, like gold, than volatile tech stocks.
