BlackRock buys $1B Bitcoin as Grayscale loses $255M amid fee-driven ETF shift

Over the past 20 days, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has gained about $1.08 billion in inflows, while Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) saw $254.7 million in outflows. The key factor driving this divergence is the fee difference: IBIT charges 0.25% annually, much lower than GBTC's 1.5%. BlackRock's strong distribution network and earlier ETF launches have attracted more investors, pushing IBIT's assets above $60 billion. This shift reflects a broader trend where US spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold 6% of all Bitcoin, potentially influencing price dynamics and institutional adoption narratives going forward.
