BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has experienced its largest outflow since its inception, with $330.8 million exiting the fund on January 2, 2025. This outflow, equivalent to over 3,500 Bitcoin, stands as a record high, surpassing the previous outflow record of $188.7 million recorded on December 24, 2024. Following a market closure on New Year's Day, this is the third consecutive trading day marked by outflows, contributing to a total of $391 million in the past week. Despite these outflows, BlackRock's ETF remains robust, ranking third among all U.S. exchange-traded funds for inflows in 2024, receiving $37.2 billion. In contrast, funds from Bitwise, Fidelity, and Ark 21Shares reported inflows on the same day. Industry analyst Nate Geraci highlighted several prospective developments for crypto ETFs in 2025, including the introduction of combined Bitcoin and Ether ETFs and staking options. The current landscape indicates both volatility in Bitcoin investment products and potential for significant future growth.
