iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF
BlackRock filed for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protect ETF, aiming to offer upside exposure to its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) with downside protection. IBIT has over $65 billion in assets under management, the largest of its kind. This follows BlackRock's earlier launch of the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF in June 2024.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) holds Bitcoin in a Delaware statutory trust, with Coinbase as custodian. Shareholders have beneficial interests but no direct ownership. Bitcoin is trading at $81,497, 35% below its record high. IBIT shares closed at $46 on October 16, 2026. The ETF's structure impacts share flows but not Bitcoin's price directly.
On October 16, 2025, US spot bitcoin ETFs experienced $536.4 million in outflows, the largest since August 1. ARKB (Ark and 21Shares) saw the biggest loss at $275.15 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $132 million. Outflows were driven by institutional investors, not just leveraged traders, amid macroeconomic uncertainty and a decline in the Crypto Fear & Greed Index to extreme fear levels.
