IBIT versus the entire category
Cumulative net inflows since launch, $ billions. Read the two bars together.
About this data
BlackRock’s IBIT has taken in roughly $62bn since launch. The entire category — IBIT included — has taken in $51.3bn. That is not a contradiction: it means every other US spot Bitcoin ETF is net NEGATIVE on a cumulative basis, by roughly $11bn combined. IBIT is not leading the category, it is carrying it, and the headline category figure conceals a broad withdrawal underneath.

Methodology & sources
Last updated: Aug 14, 2026Methodology
Flows are NET (creations less redemptions) for US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs since the category launched on 11 January 2024. Net flow is not the same as AUM: AUM also moves with the bitcoin price, so a fund can grow in dollar terms while losing units. THE KEY READ: IBIT’s ~$62bn cumulative inflow EXCEEDS the whole category’s $51.3bn. That is not an error in the data. It means the other US spot Bitcoin ETFs are collectively net NEGATIVE by roughly $11bn on a cumulative basis. The category headline conceals a broad withdrawal underneath a single dominant fund. CAVEAT: IBIT’s share of category AUM is reported as a RANGE (49–62%) across sources and dates. A midpoint would be a fabrication, so the range is stated here and not charted. The cumulative checkpoints are published milestones, not a continuous daily series, so the line connects dated observations rather than tracking every trading day. Re-verified 2026-08-10.
