BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF just crossed a major milestone—over 700,000 Bitcoin now under management. This move isn’t just about numbers; it signals a shift in how institutional finance is embracing Bitcoin.
IBIT’s 700K BTC Holding: Bitcoin Goes Institutional
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) now holds more than 700,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $75.5 billion. That’s over 55% of all Bitcoin held across U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Since launching in January 2024, IBIT has delivered a return of more than 82%, making it one of the most successful crypto investment products so far.
This shows a clear trend—traditional finance is no longer avoiding Bitcoin. Instead, it’s becoming a core part of institutional portfolios. As a result, Bitcoin is slowly moving from a speculative asset to a long-term store of value for big players.
With demand far outpacing supply, Bitcoin is becoming scarcer each month. This imbalance can create upward pressure on price over time, especially as more funds and companies continue to accumulate. It’s a sign that Bitcoin’s limited supply is becoming more significant as adoption grows.
Solana ETF Deadline Update
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued new streamlined guidance aimed at shortening the crypto ETF approval process, cutting review time from ~240 days to about 75 days.
Following the successful launch of the REX‑Osprey Sol + Staking ETF, the SEC moved to fast‑track spot Solana ETF applications, asking issuers to refile S‑1 documents by July 31. Approval could come before the formal October deadline.
This shift signals greater regulatory clarity and faster access to crypto funds. As approvals accelerate for Solana—and eventually XRP, Dogecoin, Litecoin—investors may see increased options beyond Bitcoin and Ether.
Final Thoughts
From BlackRock’s growing Bitcoin dominance to a regulatory environment warming up to crypto ETFs, the signs are clear: institutional involvement in crypto is deepening. Investors—both large and small—are finding more ways to access Bitcoin and other digital assets through regulated, familiar financial tools. As these trends continue, the crypto market is becoming more mature, accessible, and relevant in global finance.
