BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, Emerges as the Most Profitable Product

1. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, Tops Profitability Charts

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, has become the most profitable product in its asset class. According to CryptoPolitan on the 28th, IBIT generated $186 million in annual revenue, surpassing BlackRock’s S&P 500 ETF, IVV, by $3 million.

Though IBIT and IVV track different markets, they show similar volatility, making them comparable in terms of risk. IBIT, in less than a year since its launch, is already regarded as one of the most successful ETFs in the industry, continually setting new records.

2. IBIT Reaches New Milestones in Transaction Fee Revenue

Analyst Nate Geraci pointed out that IBIT has set another milestone in transaction fee revenue. IBIT generates about $186 million annually, managing $75 billion in assets.

Its fee rate of 25bps is significantly higher than that of the S&P 500 ETF IVV, which charges 3bps. IVV generates about $183 million annually.

3. Bitcoin Volatility and IBIT’s Stability

Despite Bitcoin’s recent market volatility, IBIT has consistently recorded new fund inflows and remains a leader among ETFs. Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst, compared the 60-day volatility and noted that while IBIT’s volatility was 5.7 times greater than the S&P 500 a year ago, the ratio has now converged to nearly 1. This suggests that Bitcoin’s volatility has decreased to levels nearly comparable to U.S. stocks.

4. IBIT’s Continued Growth and Stability

IBIT has achieved remarkable success in transaction fee revenue, positioning itself for continued growth in the Bitcoin ETF market. With increasing institutional inflows and Bitcoin’s volatility stabilizing, IBIT is expected to maintain strong growth potential. Despite market uncertainty, IBIT’s stable revenue structure continues to receive positive responses from investors.
