BlackRock saw a massive influx into its crypto ETF products in Q2 2025, with inflows reaching $14 billion — more than quadrupling the $3 billion recorded in the previous quarter.
This surge made digital assets one of the fastest-growing areas within the firm, accounting for 16.5% of total ETF inflows during the quarter.
Despite this crypto momentum, BlackRock’s overall ETF inflows dropped to $68 billion, down from $84 billion in Q1. The firm cited a single institutional client’s $52 billion partial redemption as the main reason for the decline.
Revenue from digital asset products rose to $40 million, still just 1% of BlackRock’s base fees, but the growth rate suggests the category could soon play a larger role in its long-term strategy.
CEO Larry Fink pointed to a wave of new investors driven by products like IBIT — BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF — and emphasized that digital assets are helping the company tap into a more global and younger client base.
Crypto funds across the market also saw increased inflows in Q2, buoyed by a 25% rise in Bitcoin’s price and growing confidence in regulated investment vehicles.
