BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust Takes in $665.2 Million
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded $665.2 million in net inflows on October 19, 2026, marking a strong performance in a week where several other Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows. This inflow contrasts with the $103.3 million outflows reported by spot ether ETFs, indicating a growing institutional preference for Bitcoin over Ether. The IBIT inflow suggests strategic accumulation by larger investors, while the ether ETFs’ outflows point to a more cautious outlook in the short term.
