CoinDesk
BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF attracted $25 billion in inflows in 2025 despite having a negative 9.6% return.Summary
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) demonstrated remarkable investor commitment in 2025, ranking sixth among all ETFs for inflows with over $25 billion, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas. Uniquely among the top 25 ETFs by inflow, IBIT recorded a negative return of 9.6% for the year. Balchunas highlighted this as a strong long-term indicator, suggesting that if the fund can attract such massive capital during a down year, its potential during a positive year is substantial. This inflow performance contrasts with the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD), which saw less money despite a 65% price advance in 2025.
