BlackRock’s Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing $2 billion in assets under management (AUM) just two weeks after its launch on the Nasdaq.

The ETF, known as the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has seen its market capitalization reach $2.11 billion due to Bitcoin’s recent price performance.

Bitcoin’s price broke through the $42,000 mark for the first time in nearly seven days, following a sell-off that occurred after the launch of ETFs on January 11.

Other issuers, such as ARK Invest, charge 0.21%, VanEck lists a fee of 0.25%, and Bitwise charges 0.20%.

These fees are deducted from the ETF’s performance rather than billed directly to investors, reducing investors’ overall returns.

Likewise, Aurelie Barthere, Principal Research Analyst at Nansen, said in a recent interview with Cryptonews.com that she expects lower-fee ETFs to attract more inflows in the short term.

The competitive landscape among Bitcoin spot ETF providers, according to Barthere, will be shaped by factors like reputation, size, existing footprint, and management fees.

“Reputation/size/existing footprint + management fee will probably lead to some leaders dominating the market,” she...
