On Monday, April 22, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF IBIT registered yet another inflow of $19.4 million, registering 70 consecutive days of inflows ever since launch. This puts BlackRock’s IBIT ETF into the top-ten exchange-traded-funds recording the largest daily streak of inflows.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF IBIT Shines

So far, BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF has amassed more than $15.4 billion worth of Bitcoins as of its current price. While on the one hand, BlackRock has been recording continuous inflows, the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF has registered continuous outflows on the other hand. BlackRock’s IBIT has been swiftly closing the gap with GBTC and could soon become the largest Bitcoin fund in the market.

Earlier today, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shared a chart on X, highlighting the potential milestone for BlackRock’s fund, IBIT. If IBIT manages to sustain its streak of 70 consecutive days of net inflows, it will join the ranks of some of the most successful exchange-traded funds in history.

“IBIT inflow streak currently at 69 days. One more day and it moves into the top 10 and ties JETS,” Balchunas noted. The JETS exchange-traded fund, which holds shares in companies within the airline industry, has also achieved 70 consecutive days of inflows, as per Balchunas’ data. Prior to today, JETS held the tenth position in this regard.

According to the Bloomberg analyst’s post, the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) currently holds the record for the longest streak of daily inflows, standing at an impressive 160 consecutive days.

Snapshot of Inflows

Over the past three sessions, Fidelity’s FBTC has outpaced BlackRock’s IBIT in terms of daily inflows. The historical cumulative net inflow for Bitcoin spot ETFs has now reached an impressive US$12.384 billion. Bitwise CEO recently stated that wealth management firms are likely to further increase their exposure to Bitcoin ETF.
