BlackRock: main driver of Bitcoin ETFs is financialization, not custody

  • —More than $3 billion converted into spot Bitcoin ETFs via in-kind mechanism by end-2025
  • —In-kind creation and redemption threshold lowered to about $1.5 million for institutions
  • —iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF (BITA) launched in June 2026 with 15–25% annual yield
  • —Bitcoin volatility compressed from ~80% to 35–40% amid growth of ETFs and options markets
Why it matters: The flow of BTC into ETF wrappers reduces free supply on exchanges and strengthens traditional finance's influence on Bitcoin's price.
