In just 18 months, the IBIT ETF has become BlackRock’s highest-earning ETF. Operating with approximately $75 billion in assets under management equivalent to 700,000 BTC, the ETF generates $186 million annually with a 25 basis points fee. In contrast, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) manages $609 billion AUM and earns $183 million in revenue with a much lower fee of 3 basis points.
