The fund rapidly achieved this status, becoming the fastest exchange-traded fund (ETF) to reach the $10 billion threshold in assets under management (AUM), a feat that underscores the accelerating institutional adoption of cryptocurrency-focused investment vehicles.

Bloomberg Intelligence provides a detailed snapshot of the leading Bitcoin ETFs by asset. <a href="https://u.today/grayscale-bitcoin-trust-gbtc-discount-keeps-plunging" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)</a>, with an impressive $25.7 billion in total volume, although experiencing a decline in flows, remains the largest Bitcoin trust. Its size can be attributed to its early entry into the market, providing investors with exposure to Bitcoin through a traditional investment vehicle.
Following GBTC is BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which not only boasts a substantial $21.9 billion in assets but also shows a staggering inflow of $7.7 billion due to an immense level of trust and interest from investors.&nbsp;
Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) stands out, with $13.2 billion in assets and a notable inflow of $4.7 billion. The fund benefits from Fidelity's strong brand reputation. &nbsp;
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), with $4.5 billion in assets and $1.8 billion in inflows, reflects the innovative investment strategy that ARK is known for, focusing on disruptive technologies, including cryptocurrencies.
Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) are also key players in this landscape, with assets of $4.4 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.
Other funds, like the VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL) and the Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR), are smaller in size.&nbsp;
