Bitcoin ETFs Hold Strong With Over $100bn AUM; Blackrock’s IBIT & Fidelity’s FBTC Lead The Charge By Vishakha Thakur
The last few weeks have caused concern for the crypto market due to the tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China by U.S. President Donald Trump. These tariffs have effectively strengthened the U.S. Dollar, which, in turn, could put more downward pressure on crypto prices. And indeed, this has happened.
Crypto Market Hit By U.S. Tariffs
Recently, Bitcoin’s price declined to $78,000. However, after President Trump granted a one-month exemption on auto tariffs for Mexico and Canada, Bitcoin’s price touched $92,000. Still, despite this, the crypto market downturn led to over $3.2 billion in outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs. So, as an investor, what should you do?
Bitcoin ETFs Hold Strong With Over $100bn AUM
If you’re wondering which Spot Bitcoin ETF is ideal to invest in, keep reading until the end. Apart from that, we will also discuss:

Bitcoin ETFs – Ticker Price
The highest assets under management (AUM) are held by BlackRock and Fidelity’s Spot Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock’s IBIT holds over $50 billion in assets, and Fidelity holds around $18 billion. Since these two asset managers hold the most AUM, they naturally also experience the highest outflows, which is expected.

Bitcoin ETFs Deliver Strong Returns
Looking at the returns for the last 6 months, all major asset managers have delivered returns between 67% and 69%, which is a handsome return.
In fact, recently, BlackRock added Bitcoin to its $150 billion model portfolio.
The good news is that institutional asset management global leader State Street has predicted that, due to the surging demand for crypto ETFs, digital token ETFs will become the third-largest asset class in the $15 trillion ETF industry by the end of 2025, ahead of real estate, alternative, and multi-asset funds.
