According to Eric Balchunas, $IBIT has moved into the top 5 ETFs by year-to-date flows, now exceeding $9 billion after a rapid $6.5 billion increase in just one month, overtaking $BIL. This sharp inflow signals growing institutional interest in crypto-backed ETFs as traditional gold and cash ETFs see declines. For crypto traders, this shift highlights $IBIT's rising market influence and suggests increased capital flow into cryptocurrency assets, potentially impacting Bitcoin and overall crypto market dynamics (source: Eric Balchunas on Twitter, May 21, 2025).
