Blackrock Bitcoin ETF is now out of its S&P 500 flagship background
Ishares Bitcoin ETF of Blackrock (Ibit) Now it is generating more annual income than its badge ishares core s & p 500 ETF (IVV)According to a new Presto Research report.
IBIT is expected to, with only $ 75 billion in assets under administration, bring $ 187.2 million a year of its 0.25%rate. IVV, on the contrary, has $ 624 billion massive, but charges only 0.03%, producing a little less in absolute income.
The difference is not just a peculiarity of rates structures: it is a window of how institutional investors see exposure to cryptographic in 2025. “Ibit rates are 8.3 times higher than those of IVV,” says Presto Research, “but investors are paying.”
In a world where each basic point usually matters, the will to pay a premium by BTC through a reliable wrapping underlines how early we are in the Crypto institutional adoption cycle. As Presto points out, even the negotiation rate of the Coinbase base point is higher, at 60 bp.
Ibit’s growth history also highlights the power of the brand. The institutions want Bitcoin, but they want it with the name of Blackrock on the label. While ETF S&P 500 have become commercialized, cryptographic ETFs remain premium prices.
With Ibit holding most of the Bitcoin ETF market tickets, it is increasingly clear: the institutionalization of cryptography is not coming. It is already happening.
