BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF had already accumulated 245,951 BTC as of Tuesday, according to its latest fund disclosures . IBIT’s $323.8 million (4,702 BTC) worth of net inflows yesterday, per BitMEX Research data, were enough to tip it over the milestone.

 

Speaking to Fox Business' Charlie Gasparino and Liz Claman on Wednesday, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said , "IBIT is the fastest-growing ETF in the history of ETFs," adding that he was surprised how much bitcoin had gone up.

In comparison, assets held by Grayscale’s converted GBTC fund have fallen by 45% from around 619,000 BTC to around 340,000 BTC in the same period.

Meanwhile, the remaining spot Bitcoin ETFs generated inflows of less than $6 million each. Total net inflows now stand at $11.9 billion.
