BlackRock’s IBIT ETF has now made more money from fees this year than its well-known iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV). This shows that big investors are becoming more interested in cryptocurrency.
As of July 1, 2025, Bloomberg says IBIT earned $187.2 million in fees, just above the $187.1 million made by IVV. This happened even though IBIT manages less money overall. It highlights how Wall Street is moving more toward digital assets instead of traditional stock funds.
Since it started in January 2024, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF has gathered $75 billion in assets, thanks to $52.4 billion of new money coming in. IBIT charges a 0.25% fee, which is more than eight times higher than IVV’s 0.03% fee. This helps IBIT make more money from fees, even though IVV manages a much bigger $624 billion.
On July 2, 2025, IBIT’s price closed at $62.42, going up 4.31% that day. IVV also went up, but only by 0.44%, closing at $623.42, according to Yahoo Finance.
Bloomberg’s fee estimates match the simple math: $75 billion × 0.25% equals about $187.5 million in fees for IBIT, and $624 billion × 0.03% gives about $187.2 million in fees for IVV.
IBIT is now one of the top 20 most traded ETFs. It has stayed popular with investors, with just one recent day where more money left than came in.
