BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has surpassed its 19-year-old Gold Trust (IAU) in asset size, reaching a total of $33.2 billion, growing by about 10% since the beginning of the month. This marks an increase in the popularity of Bitcoin among BlackRock's clients. Especially after Trump was elected as a crypto-friendly U.S. president, the demand for Bitcoin has noticeably increased, with prices hitting new highs, while gold has remained relatively stable.

In the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market, BlackRock's IBIT holds a 42% market share, with the total market net assets reaching $78.5 billion. Bitwise's Head of European Research, Andre Dragos, pointed out that the inflows since the ETF's launch have far exceeded those for gold, reflecting growing investor interest in Bitcoin and the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies in financial instruments. #BTC创历史新高 $BTC
