- BlackRock’s fund swells to $10B.
- Bitcoin
BTCUSD is on a tear with prices breaking record after record. Crypto circles around the world can’t catch their breath or take a break this week as the OG token smashed its previous record of $69,000 and went to work on more fresh gains, flexing that “No Days Off” mentality. Early on Tuesday, Bitcoin spiked to a new all-time high of $72,800. - Earlier today, prices pared back some of the gains to float near $72,000 a pop. But the good news won’t stop. The piles of assets sitting in the newly-launched spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds), have reached $50 billion. About 20% of that amount got pulled in at a record pace by the largest spot Bitcoin fund – iShares Bitcoin Trust
IBIT packaged by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. Some $30 billion were in Grayscale from launch day as the asset manager converted its trust into an ETF. - The original digital asset is fast-approaching yet another big milestone. The $1.5 trillion valuation is about $100 billion away from Bitcoin’s current market cap. If reached, it will give the crypto a price tag of about $77,500 and a valuation that’s roughly three times the size of struggling EV maker Tesla
TSLA, currently sitting on $550 billion in value.
