BlackRock’s IBIT offloads $145 million in Bitcoin
Major redemptions in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF highlight risk-averse sentiment among institutional investors toward digital assets.
BlackRock clients offloaded over $145 million in Bitcoin on Monday, executing large redemptions through the asset manager’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT).
The sell-off reflects continued investor caution in a volatile market. Major fund redemptions can influence discussions about institutional appetite for crypto assets.
BlackRock launched its Bitcoin ETF in 2024, becoming one of the largest providers of crypto exposure to institutional and retail investors. The fund has attracted billions in assets since its debut, though client flows have varied with market conditions.
