“This is five times faster than the previous record set by GLD, which took 1,691 days,” noted Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.
The Bitcoin ETF from the world’s largest asset manager significantly outpaces its competitors in AUM. The second place is held by a fund from Fidelity with approximately $31 billion.
The “Golden” ETF
The GLD instrument (SPDR Gold Shares) allows investment in gold without physical purchase. It was launched on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2004.
According to the official website, GLD remains the world’s largest exchange-traded fund backed by physical gold, with an AUM of about $100 billion.
In 2025, both the precious metal and the leading cryptocurrency are experiencing growth amid economic uncertainty, partly triggered by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
BlackRock introduced its spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024. The company manages client assets but does not directly own cryptocurrency.
Inexhaustible Inflow
As of June 9, the net capital inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs amounted to $386.27 million. No outflows were recorded from any of the funds.
AUM structures exceed $130 billion, representing more than 6% of the digital gold’s market capitalization.
The net inflow into spot Ethereum ETFs over the past day was $52.71 million, with positive dynamics observed for 16 consecutive days.
AUM of ether-based funds amounts to $9.8 billion. The largest ETF in the segment is ETHA from BlackRock ($3.94 billion).
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $109,390, and Ethereum at $2,670. Over the past day, the assets have appreciated by 3.7% and 7.3% respectively, according to CoinGecko.
As reported by Bloomberg, citing informed sources, JPMorgan will begin accepting BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF as collateral for loans to its clients.
