BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is topping the chart of Bitcoin funds worldwide, outperforming Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) to become the greatest fund. According to Bloomsberg, a boost in IBIT wealth is currently propelling its asset bases consistently under its low fee structure. As a result, the difference between the two trusts decreased to $2 billion. The lower annual fee of 0.25% for IBIT compared to GBTC’s 1.5% fee is the main reason for its popularity surge.
IBIT constantly preferred GBTC by investors due to the fee difference. This has resulted in consistent flows into IBIT while shattering its record consecutive data of 68 days experiencing outflows of about $16 billion. By the end of April, with IBIT expanding and GBTC still awaiting regulatory approval for its mini version with undisclosed fees, IBIT will likely come out on top.
