BlackRock Reports Quarter 1 Digital Asset Inflows of $3 billion

According to Cointelegraph, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, reported total net inflows of $84 billion for Quarter 1 in 2025, achieving an annualized growth of 3%. According to its April 11 earnings report, the strong performance was mainly due to the record performance of the iShares ETF and continued strong net inflows into the private market. BlackRock said that of the $107 billion net inflows into the iShares ETF, $3 billion (2.8%) flowed into digital asset products in Quarter 1. As of March 31, 2025, digital assets generated $34 million in underlying expenses for BlackRock, less than 1% of its long-term revenue; at the end of Quarter 1, its total digital assets under management were $50.30 billion, accounting for about 0.5% of total assets under management. Although the share is not high, BlackRock's net inflow of $3 billion digital assets is still worth watching in light of the general liquidation of the bitcoin ETF market earlier this year, and the data shows stable investor interest in cryptocurrency-backed ETFs.
