BlackRock recorded 3 billion USD of inflows into digital assets in Q1

BlackRock – the world’s largest asset management company with total assets under management (AUM) reaching 11.6 trillion USD – just announced a net inflow of 84 billion USD in the first quarter of 2025, equivalent to an annual AUM growth rate of 3%.

According to the financial report for Q1 published on April 11, this impressive result was driven by the record growth of iShares ETF funds, along with solid performance from private markets and stable investment inflows.

Of the total $107 billion in net capital flowing into iShares ETFs, $3 billion – equivalent to 2.8% – has been allocated to digital asset products, reflecting an increasing trend among investors in this sector.

Digital Assets: A Small but Noteworthy Segment

As of March 31, 2025, digital assets only generated $34 million in basic fees, accounting for less than 1% of BlackRock’s long-term revenue. The total digital assets managed by the company reached $50.3 billion, equivalent to about 0.5% of the company’s total AUM.

In particular, the influx of 3 billion USD into cryptocurrency-related products is a bright spot, especially in the context of the Bitcoin ETF market having experienced a strong sell-off earlier this year.

The latest figures show that despite market fluctuations, investor interest in cryptocurrency-linked ETFs remains stable and is trending towards sustainable growth.
