币界网报道：BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has generated over $1 billion in cumulative fee revenues since its January launch, setting a new industry record. The fund has amassed $20 billion in assets under management (AUM) with a 0.12% expense ratio, translating to approximately $24 million in annual fees. IBIT's rapid growth has outpaced traditional ETFs, reaching $10 billion AUM in just seven weeks—a milestone that took gold ETF GLD 13 months to achieve. The fund's success comes amid strong institutional demand, with IBIT accounting for 52.5% of all Bitcoin ETF inflows. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has acknowledged Bitcoin's role as "digital gold" and a hedge against inflation, while the firm's global head of thematic ETFs, Jay Jacobs, noted Bitcoin's maturation as an asset class. The ETF's performance has contributed to BlackRock reporting $11.4 billion in total quarterly net inflows across its ETF business. Industry analysts suggest IBIT's fee revenue could double by year-end if current growth trends continue, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape for crypto investment products.
