Looking at the seven-day net inflow, BlackRock remains the top player in the industry. Over this period, BlackRock\u2019s iShares fund acquired 15,351 Bitcoin, double the numbers submitted by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust. Akr21 Shares was also a top performer in the last seven days, adding almost 4,000 Bitcoins to its holdings.<\/p>\n

BlackRock Adds Substantial Number Of ETH To Grow Its Holdings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

BlackRock\u2019s holdings also include other digital assets, including ETH. In the same data shared by LookonChain, BlackRock added around 58 ETH but lags behind the acquisition of VanEck, with its 732 ETH tokens purchased in the last seven days.<\/p>\n

Although BlackRock adds a substantial number of ETH tokens, its investments in Bitcoin matter to the industry.

Since launching the spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, BlackRock has consistently led the segment with aggressive purchases.<\/p>\n

Fink Remains Bullish On BTC, Targets $700k<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bitcoin is currently trading at $104,000, a little lower than its closing price yesterday. Analysts are nonetheless optimistic about Bitcoin\u2019s price trajectory based on its recent success. Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, has shown confidence about the potential price of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Fink told the World Economic Forum that Bitcoin was becoming more and more popular with asset management companies and international investment funds. According to Fink, these companies desire BlackRock\u2019s opinion on Bitcoin. If everyone owns Bitcoin and contributes 2% to 5%, the industry will reach $700k, Fink continued.<\/p>\n

In addition, Fink stressed that they are not endorsing Bitcoin, but rather highlighting its potential. Bitcoin could see some improvement under Trump, according to Samara Cohen, another BlackRock official. According to Cohen, Bitcoin is doing well in the market under Trump. Once regulations are clear, Cohen anticipates a banner year for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
