<p>According to SoSoValue, the IBIT ETF has seen over $9 billion in all-time inflows and commands nearly $12 billion in assets under management (AUM). The AUM is underpinned by over 183,000 Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>) acquired by the asset manager since Jan. 11, when trading officially opened.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>BlackRock’s largest daily inflow also signaled its biggest BTC scoop, acquiring nearly 12,600 Bitcoin in a single day. The previous highest purchase was on Feb. 28 when the Bitcoin ETF issuer bought over 10,140 BTC for its IBIT fund.</p> 
<p>Per crypto.news, BlackRock plans to <a href="https://crypto.news/blackrock-seeks-to-purchase-more-bitcoin-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">invest</a> in more BTC ETFs through its Strategic Income Opportunities Fund. The Wall Street titan disclosed its intentions via a Mar. 4 filing with the U.S. SEC just days after announcing its <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-etf-blackrock-brazil/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin ETF</a> plans in Brazil.</p>

<p>As IBIT marked record inflows, Grayscale’s GBTC continued to experience outflows, as the converted ETF shed $332 million. All 10 spot BTC ETFs noted $648 million in net inflows, while investors have liquidated over $9 billion from GBTC.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Other institutions have also started hopping on the BTC ETF bandwagon after the products have accumulated over $20 billion in AUM, excluding Grayscale’s GBTC. According to a Dune Analytics dashboard, spot Bitcoin ETFs account for almost 4% of BTC’s current supply.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch, Citi Bank, UBS, and Wells Fargo <a href="https://crypto.news/bank-of-america-wells-fargo-bitcoin-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> that, due to customer demand, select clients could purchase spot BTC ETFs. However, the legacy institutions initially <a href="https://crypto.news/vanguard-other-tradfi-giants-boycott-spot-bitcoin-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shunned</a> the product after the launch.</p>
