The world’s largest asset manager said that surpassing the $10 trillion mark was partly attributed to the growing inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs).


According to Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the firm’s ETFs received record inflows at the beginning of 2024.


Fink wrote in the asset manager’s quarterly earnings report:“Organic growth was driven by private markets, retail active fixed income, and surging flows into our ETFs, which had their best start to a year on record.”


BlackRock is the issuer of the world’s largest spot Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which holds over $19.4 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and has a leading 35.2% market share among all US Bitcoin ETFs, according to Dune.


Due to their substantial purchasing power, the buying and selling behaviors of asset management giants and ETF issuers such as BlackRock can significantly influence Bitcoin’s price.

Investors bought $83 billion worth of BlackRock ETF shares during the second quarter of 2024, pushing this year’s total to over $150 billion year-to-date.


The asset manager recorded an 8% revenue increase year-over-year and an 11% increase in operating income.


Fink attributes part of BlackRock’s growth to its “longstanding relationships with corporates and governments.”


Fink wrote:“These relationships differentiate BlackRock as a capital partner in private markets, driving unique deal flow for clients. We have strong sourcing capabilities, and we are transforming our private markets platform to bring even more benefits of scale and technology to our clients.”
