BlackRocks’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF has accumulated nearly $19 billion of Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) year-to-date (YTD).
These "baffling" inflows are greater than those of the “magnificent seven” stocks in 2024, according to Jeroen Blockalnd, the founder of Blockland Smart Asset Fund, who wrote in a July 23 X <a href="https://x.com/jsblokland/status/1815645191153291691" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a>:
<blockquote>
 “This is more than Invesco's Nasdaq 100 ETF, including the hyped Magnificent 7 stocks and the #ArtificialIntelligence boom. In addition, #Fidelity's spot Bitcoin ranks 11th, gathering USD 10 billion in inflows.”
</blockquote>

The Magnificent Seven term takes cues from the 1960s American Western film and includes Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, and Nvidia instead of cowboys.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This makes Bitcoin the world’s second-biggest asset class this year, in terms of inflows, according to the founder, who added:
<blockquote>
 “That's pretty amazing since Bitcoin's size is 90(!) times smaller than that of equities.”

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed over $61 billion worth of onchain holdings. In other words, ETFs hold over 4.6% of the BTC supply.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs also saw over $1 billion worth of net inflows last week, as appetite for BTC was apparently boosted by the launch of the first spot Ether ETFs in the US.

However, Bitcoin’s price action will largely depend on the ETF inflows. Bitcoin ETFs accounted for approximately <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etfs-about-75-new-investment" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">75% of new investments</a> by Feb. 15, coinciding with its rise above the $50,000 mark.
As Cointelegraph reported, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-bulls-aim-for-72k-after-btc-futures-premium-hits-a-5-week-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the $72,000 mark</a> right under the current all-time high will be the next major hurdle for BTC price to clear.&nbsp;
