It was recently reported that BlackRock now earns more revenue from its IBIT fund than its flagship S&P 500 fund, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, on an annual basis.

Balchunas added, “Total assets for all the spot Bitcoin ETFs crossed $140b for the first time as well.” However, he said that the price surge did “most of the heavy lifting here.”
