BlackRocks’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF has accumulated nearly $19 billion of Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) year-to-date (YTD).
These “baffling” inflows are greater than those of the “magnificent seven” stocks in 2024, according to Jeroen Blockalnd, the founder of Blockland Smart Asset Fund, who wrote in a July 23 X <a href="https://x.com/jsblokland/status/1815645191153291691" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a>:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “This is more than Invesco’s Nasdaq 100 ETF, including the hyped Magnificent 7 stocks and the #ArtificialIntelligence boom. In addition, # Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ranks 11th, gathering USD 10 billion in inflows.”

The magnificent seven term come from the 1960s American Western film and includes Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet and Nvidia instead of cowboys.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This makes Bitcoin the world’s second-biggest asset class this year in terms of inflows, according to the founder, who added:

 “That’s pretty amazing since Bitcoin’s size is 90(!) times smaller than that of equities.”

However, Bitcoin’s price action will largely depend on the ETF inflows. Bitcoin ETFs accounted for approximately <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etfs-about-75-new-investment">75% of new investments</a> by Feb. 15, coinciding with its rise above the $50,000 mark.
As Cointelegraph reported, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-bulls-aim-for-72k-after-btc-futures-premium-hits-a-5-week-high">the $72,000 mark</a>, just under the current all-time high, will be the next major hurdle for the BTC price to clear.&nbsp;
