BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, set a new record with a daily inflow of $875 million on October 30, surpassing the previous record of $849 million. This demonstrates growing institutional interest in exposure to Bitcoin through traditional financial instruments. Since the launch of IBIT, BlackRock has raised over $4.08 billion in new investments, indicating a growing appetite for Bitcoin among institutions. Fidelity, another asset management giant, has also shown interest in Bitcoin by including it in its offerings and exploring the introduction of other cryptocurrency-focused funds. Institutional interest in Bitcoin is supported by factors such as Bitcoin being seen as a store of value and hedge against inflation, and growing regulation in the cryptocurrency sector providing institutions with more confidence. The influx of funds into IBIT and the participation of institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity suggest a potential cycle of institutional investments that could impact the price and stability of the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, the arrival of these institutions could facilitate wider adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the traditional economy.
