BlackRock, the biggest asset manager in the world, pulled in an impressive $1.1 billion in a single day for its Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). This happened on November 7, as BTC’s price cruised to new heights. This record inflow came after two days of slight outflows totalling $113.3 million, according to Farside data.
The massive inflow into BlackRock’s ETF happened on a day when BTC seized a fresh all-time high. BTC reached nearly $77,000, topping out at $76,943, as reported by CoinMarketCap.
