BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has, in recent weeks, attracted well over $1 billion from institutional investments, with major players such as Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund and also several Hong Kong investors dramatically increasing their Bitcoin ETF holdings. The cryptocurrency market has, at the time of writing, responded quite positively to these substantial ETF inflows, which are highlighting the growing institutional confidence in digital assets.
