History of the establishment
IBIT is one of 11 newly created exchange funds affiliated with the cryptocurrency market - trading began on January 11, 2024. The prerequisite for its creation was the systematic and steady growth of investors' interest in cryptocurrencies. One of the most important requests for the creation of this fund was the need to provide a reliable and convenient way to invest in cryptocurrencies, which will be regulated by the SEC and eliminate potential problems that arise with direct investments on crypto exchanges. As already mentioned, the fund was created on the initiative of one of the largest investment companies - Black Rock, Inc., thus expanding its sphere of influence in the world of investments.
Rapid development
Preparations for the creation of the fund began well in advance, and the application for the creation of the fund was submitted in June 2023. The publication of IBIT on the market created a significant resonance and in the first two days, almost 8 billion dollars worth of shares were sold. After recording earnings, the price of the share fell as expected, but within a month it returned to the level of the initial price of the publication of the asset.
Investments in IBIT
The creation of the iShares Bitcoin Trust fund and the like can definitely be considered a breath of fresh air for the cryptocurrency market - investors have the opportunity to add BTC (and in the future, other cryptocurrencies). Some analysts say that Black Rock will continue to adhere to the strategy of actively introducing cryptocurrencies to the list of its own assets and opportunities for its own clients, which is expected to lead to growth. Even the recent increase in the price of BTC is associated, in particular, with the announcement of the creation of exchange-traded funds for it.
So, in general, exchange-traded funds for cryptocurrencies can be an interesting asset option for investors who want to expand their own portfolio without the need to open a new account, or for active crypto investors who would like to take advantage of stock market regulations.
