According to data shared by ZeroHedge, the total AUM has tripled over the last 200 trading days, surpassing several traditional commodity ETFs with its unprecedented demand.

IBIT also made history by surpassing 700,000 BTC in holdings for the first time ever. This amount exceeds Strategy’s total Bitcoin stash by approximately 100,000 BTC. As per the Farside Investors’ data, the net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs since inception have reached $53.4 billion.
Bloomberg ETF strategist Eric Balchunas reported that the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF clocked a $5 billion in daily trading volume, double its daily average. Moreover, on the previous day, IBIT’s trading volume was $3.5 billion.
Balchunas noted that volume spikes like these, especially on days when Bitcoin price is rising, typically signal “big boy flows” from institutional investors. Based on historical patterns, he added there’s a strong chance Bitcoin ETFs could attract up to $1 billion in net inflows over the next two trading sessions, added Balchunas.
Huge volume day for $IBIT today, $5b (2x avg) after $3.5b yesterday. When IBIT sees big volume surges on up price days it portends big boy flows (as seen in chart) = good chance we see $1b in flows over next two days. It's also a hair away from $80b. pic.twitter.com/hFKvPSHVWe

Additionally, the IBIT share price is showing major strength, surging to $66 in after-hours on July 10. Market analysts believe that this rally can further continue to $77-$80.
After hitting an all-time high, Bitcoin price rally has continued hitting fresh highs above $118K earlier today, with daily trading volumes crossing $108 billion, suggesting strong bullish sentiment among traders. As a result, the BTC futures open interest has also surged to $83 billion.
CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan noted that Binance whale activity has been behind the recent BTC price rally.
