- BlackRock and Fidelity have recorded significant inflows into their Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, becoming leaders in this space.
- Despite not offering Bitcoin ETFs, Vanguard still leads overall ETF inflows for the year.
Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced a surge in popularity in 2024, with financial giants BlackRock and Fidelity capturing substantial market shares. The IBIT from BlackRock has amassed an impressive $16.6 billion in inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC has attracted $8.9 billion since their debuts five months ago.
Despite the success of Bitcoin-specific ETFs, Vanguard remains the leader in overall ETF inflows, boasting $102.8 billion without featuring any Bitcoin ETFs in its portfolio. BlackRock and Fidelity have significantly diversified their offerings, managing 429 and 70 ETFs with $2.8 trillion and $74 billion in assets, respectively.
This information has been underscored in a CNF YouTube video, which provides additional insights into the ETF market dynamics, watch here.
Invesco also participates in the Bitcoin ETF market, but with less impact, contributing just 0.9% to its $34.7 billion in total inflows. Remarkably, on May 28, BlackRock’s IBIT overtook the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to become the largest spot Bitcoin ETF, although the influx of funds has since stabilized, showing no significant new inflows or outflows.

Additionally, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shared that Bitcoin ETFs account for 26% and 56% of the year-to-date inflows for BlackRock and Fidelity, respectively, a testament to the growing influence of cryptocurrencies in the traditional investment arena.
The current Bitcoin price stands at $69,067.17, marking a modest increase of 1.25% over the past week, as reported by Coin Market. This subtle upward trend reflects the ongoing interest and dynamic movements within the Bitcoin ETF markets, suggesting a sustained investor appetite for cryptocurrency exposure through traditional investment vehicles.
