Ah, the poetic dance of finance, where BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund twirls with a grace that’s minted nearly $245 million in fees over the past year, emerging as the firm’s most profitable waltz partner, outshining the mundane masses. 💸
The iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) pirouettes past the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) by a cheeky $25 million in yearly revenue, as BlackRock’s ETF bard, Eric Balchunas, serenaded on X yesterday. Oh, the irony of a fresh fad trumping ancient tomes!
IBIT claimed its throne as the pinnacle of BlackRock’s profitability sometime around mid-July, according to Balchunas’ earlier lyrical posts, leaving history in the dust. 😂
Every other top 12 BlackRock ETF by fee bounty has pounded the pavement for over a decade, Balchunas observed wryly, yet IBIT, that newborn prodigy, dangles “a hair” – merely $2.2 billion – from breaching the sacred $100 billion threshold, all in a mere 22 months. Who knew crypto could be such a romantic rebel? 🔥
BlackRock feasts on IBIT’s bounty through management fees – a modest 0.25% of assets under management, swelling like a swollen river as investor frenzy and Bitcoin’s (BTC) price ascend the heavens. Greed is the eternal muse, it seems.
IBIT reigns supreme as the US spot Bitcoin fund king. Last week, it gobbled over $1.8 billion of the $3.2 billion inflows into these ETFs, marking its second-largest week ever. Bitcoin even flirted with $125,000 over the weekend – talk about a parabolic passion play! 🤑
This crypto crush has been fueled by Washington’s sudden tender whispers toward crypto under the Trump reign, promising to crown America the “crypto capital of the world.” Sarcasm aside, who wouldn’t love a government crush? 😏
IBIT: Speed Demon ETF Racing to $100 Billion Stardom
With $97.8 billion netted in just 435 days, IBIT sprints toward eclipsing Vanguard’s S&P 500 icon (VOO) and gracing the $100 billion mark first, mused Balchunas. VOO sulked to that milestone in 2,011 days – about 5.5 years. Patience, darling? IBIT laughs in the face of time!
BlackRock Flirts with Fresh Bitcoin Revenue Romps
BlackRock has wooed the SEC with a Delaware trust for its envisioned Bitcoin Premium Income ETF just last month, a move to diversify its poetic portfolio.
This nouveau amour would hawk covered call options on Bitcoin futures, harvesting premiums like forbidden fruit for yield dreams.
Yet, these steady payouts sacrifice the wild upside gambol of IBIT, which merely echoes Bitcoin’s mercurial moods. Risk-reward, the eternal tango.
Balchunas predicts BlackRock’s heart will linger on Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) trysts, shunning the altcoin carnival fever gripping rivals – for the nonce. Selective affections are so very dramatic!
The US Securities and Exchange Commission, in bureaucratic slumber, has halted crypto ETF reviews until the government awakens from hibernation. Bureaucracy, thy name is delay. 😴
