Blackrocks IBIT-ETF Investors invested $ 970 million and trigger new BTC upward trend
- Blackrocks Ibit ETF received $ 970 million tributaries from institutions while private investors were holding back.
- The IBIT ETF holds 51% of the US Kassa-BTC-ETF market and thus underlines the institutional dominance in Bitcoin.
The persistent investments of Blackrock in Bitcoin through its Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF strengthen the structural support behind the price movement of cryptocurrency. On April 28, the ETF recorded tributaries of almost $ 1 billion, which reflects the continued interest of institutional investors, although the participation of private investors has decreased.
Analysts suspect that these capital flows are decisive for the resistance and upward trend of the Bitcoin price. The growing dominance of IBIT underlines that institutional capital is now an important driver of the market mood.

On April 28, the IBIT ETF acquired Bitcoin worth $ 970 million and, according to the Sosovalue data, recorded the second largest daily inflow since its laying in January 2024. The only major day purchase took place on November 7, 2024 when ETF recorded tributaries of $ 1.12 billion. With this latest investment, the total net inflows of all US spot-bitcoin ETFs rose to over $ 590 million. It is noteworthy that every other ETF either recorded net drains during the same period or remained unchanged.

According to Dune Analytics, the ETF currently holds 51 % of the entire US Bitcoin ETF market share with an managed assets of over 54 billion USD. It is the world’s 33rd largest ETF, which includes both crypto and traditional financial funds, as ETF Database reports.

Nate Geraci, President of the advisory company ETF Store, commented on the inflow of April 28 in a posting X With the words: “Almost $ 1 billion in Ishares Bitcoin ETF today … The second largest inflow since the introduction in January 2024. I still remember it when there was ‘no demand’.“
Institutional capital drives the recovery of Bitcoin
Analysts say that ibits do continuing tributaries more than just increasing the commitment-they actively support the Bitcoin price. Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, said that the ETF inflows of the past week, in addition to Bitcoin purchases from companies, were the main reason for the recovery of the Bitcoin course over $ 94,000. He added that the commitment of small investors is still relatively low, which underlines the central role of institutional capital.
Institutional demand has repeatedly proven to be the key force for the increase in the Bitcoin market. In February 2024, when Bitcoin conquered the $ 50,000 brand, an estimated 75 % of new investments in the asset could be seen to ETFs. This trend underlines a shift in the market structure, in which regulated investment vehicles such as IBIT become the backbone of Bitcoin course development.
Analysts believe that the continuing inflows represent permanent structural support for digital assets, even with wider market fluctuations. Since IBIT leads with a clear lead and the interest of investors remains constant, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the role of the ETF in the design of the evaluation development of Bitcoin.
