Bitcoin ETFs see record $1.2 billion inflow with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the charge
Investor activity in US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) surged sharply on Oct. 6, mirroring BTC’s continued price gains and growing institutional interest.
According to data from SoSoValue, the twelve approved funds collectively absorbed about $1.2 billion in inflows. This is their second-largest single-day haul since launching in 2024 and the strongest performance this year.
Much of that demand concentrated around BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in nearly $967 million in fresh capital and nearly $5 billion in trading volume.
IBIT is now on the verge of crossing the $100 billion assets-under-management threshold, an unprecedented milestone for a digital-asset product.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that IBIT has already produced an estimated $244 million in annual revenue for BlackRock, surpassing the earnings of the firm’s other long-established funds.
That profitability reflects how deeply institutional money has begun to integrate Bitcoin into mainstream portfolio strategies.
Meanwhile, the latest wave of inflows extends a broader pattern of strength that the financial investment vehicles have registered recently.
Last week alone, Bitcoin ETFs attracted around $3.2 billion in net new capital, marking the second-highest inflow on record.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
