BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) has seen its holders bounce back into profitability, reporting a cumulative profit of $3.2 billion on Wednesday. This positive shift follows a period of investor pressure and reflects Bitcoin's price recovery and growing optimism surrounding cryptocurrencies.
According to blockchain data platform Arkham, the average buy price of BlackRock ETF holdings is now nearing the break-even point. This signifies that investors who entered the market earlier are now seeing their investments back on track.
With ETF holders experiencing less pressure, we may witness a slowdown in the selling rate. Bitcoin ETFs have recorded two consecutive days of inflows, a first in two weeks, with a modest $21 million in cumulative inflows on Wednesday.
Notably, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF was the only fund to realize net positive inflows for 2025, according to K33 Research. This highlights BlackRock's role as a key player in the Bitcoin ETF market.
Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, attributes Bitcoin’s momentum in 2025 to inflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Additionally, increasing expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve have contributed to improved market sentiment. Markets are now pricing in an 85% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut at the December 10 meeting.
Despite the Bitcoin price correction two weeks ago, which pushed Bitcoin ETF holders below their flow-weighted cost basis near $89,600, most are “long-term allocators.” This means they are less likely to panic and sell due to temporary losses.
In conclusion, the return to profitability of BlackRock Bitcoin ETF holders indicates a positive shift in investor sentiment. With continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and growing expectations of interest rate cuts, we may see further upside in Bitcoin's price in the near future.
