According to the latest reports, the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) devoured more than $778 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC)<\/u><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0on last Tuesday, as investors seized the opportunity to scoop up the dip in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12,600 Bitcoins were added by IBIT, surpassing the 10,000 daily record. The fund exceeded the previous record high of $3.3 billion from previous week with trading volumes of over 107 million shares, or over $3.6 billion price-weighted, according to data from Nasdaq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The large inflows occurred when Bitcoin briefly reached a record high of $69,000 early on Tuesday before plunging precipitously within minutes. At one point, the price fell more than 10% to below $60,000, but it made a small comeback to the $63,000 region by the end of the U.S. trading day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approaching MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) 193,000 stack, the BlackRock ETF currently has more than 183,000 Bitcoin in its possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the products’ launch on January 11, IBIT has continued to be the most well-liked Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of all its counterparts, its assets under management currently stand at approximately $12 billion, with Fidelity’s FBTC coming in second at $7.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETF volumes exceeded previous week’s record last Tuesday, totaling over $10 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
