VanEck\u2019s Head of Research, Matthew Sigel, recently hinted that the Spot Bitcoin ETF<\/a> of the world\u2019s asset manager, BlackRock<\/a>, could see a record-breaking amount of inflows upon launch. This comes as an approval order by the Securities and Exchange Commission<\/a> (SEC) looks imminent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin ETF Could See Inflows Of Over $2 Billion<\/h2>\n

Sigel mentioned on an X (formerly Twitter) space hosted by the media platform, The Block, that he heard from a reliable source that BlackRock has \u201cmore than $2 billion lined up in week one.\u201d<\/p>\n

This investment capital<\/a> is said to be coming from existing Bitcoin holders who are looking to increase their exposure to the flagship cryptocurrency<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He quickly added that he couldn\u2019t be 100% certain of this information. However, it is a possibility, considering that issuers<\/a> would be looking to get investors that can inject huge sums into their respective ETFs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sigel went on to highlight how significant it could be if BlacRock\u2019s ETF indeed saw $2 billion of inflows in the first week of trading, saying that it would \u201cblow away\u201d their initial projections<\/a>. They estimate that the Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> could see $2.5 billion of inflows in the first quarter of trading. Meanwhile, they believe the market could grow to $40 billion in the next two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not Out Of Place For BlackRock<\/h2>\n

Commenting on the possibility of BlackRock seeing this significant amount of inflows, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas<\/a> noted<\/a> that such an occurrence isn\u2019t unusual for the world\u2019s largest asset manager. According to him, BlackRock is known for lining up and injecting big cash into new ETFs on the first day of trading. That way, it registers as volume for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Balchunas further noted that BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin ETF<\/a>, seeing $2 billion of inflows, would shatter all records relating to first-day and week volume for an ETF. Interestingly, BlackRock already holds the record for the most successful ETF launch going by the amount of inflows recorded on day one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The world\u2019s asset manager further dominates the top 10 list of most successful ETF launches<\/a>. Balchunas, however, clarified that those inflows were mainly lined up cash and not organic, as they were readily available before the ETF launched. He also mentioned that he got a second source to confirm Sigel\u2019s claims that BlackRock has a big day one lined up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Bloomberg analyst provided an update on when the approval order from the SEC was likely to come. Citing multiple sources, he stated<\/a> that the SEC is lining up all issuers for a potential launch<\/a> on January 11.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
