BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has recorded an impressive $2 million worth of shares traded during the premarket hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1745404645336301810?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Eric Balchunas</a>, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg. The most remarkable aspect is not only the substantial volume but the timing — 6:00 a.m. on the premarket, setting a promising tone for what could be a monumental day.
The SEC declared the registration statement for BlackRock's spot&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/tron-founder-justin-sun-issues-massive-prediction-after-landmark-bitcoin-etf-approval" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETF</a> effective yesterday, along with the approval of 10 other applications. IBIT, designed to track the&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-price-to-hit-300-600k-amid-etf-approval-buzz-michael-van-de-poppe-predicts" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price</a>, is poised to commence trading on the Nasdaq today, adding a new dimension to the crypto investment landscape.
While the impressive early volume indicates a strong start, analysts remain cautious, speculating that this trading activity may be part of a carefully orchestrated plan by BlackRock, slowly loading the BYOA funds it had lined up.&nbsp;

That would be a great first FULL day for a normal ETF let alone at 6am bf mkt, BUT.. this volume is likely BlackRock orchestrated, slowly loading in the BYOA $ it had lined up. Still tho good early sign of big day. <a href="https://t.co/IV19iHfqYB" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/IV19iHfqYB</a>— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1745404645336301810?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">January 11, 2024</a>

As the premarket activity unfolds, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is already making waves, trading at an impressive 23.21% surge, reaching $27.02 on the Nasdaq, according to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/IBIT/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Yahoo Finance</a>. This early momentum suggests a bullish start for the ETF on its debut day.

According to industry sources, there is a possibility of BlackRock having already secured a staggering $2 billion in capital from&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/3-epic-bitcoin-btc-predictions-shared-by-s2f-founder" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> holders eager to dive into the spot Bitcoin ETF in its first week post-launch. If this hearsay proves accurate, the influx of $2 billion would shatter all existing records for first-day and first-week inflows for ETFs.
The anticipation surrounding IBIT's debut is palpable, with market participants eagerly awaiting the opening of the U.S. stock markets in just over two hours.
