The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF surpasses more established ETFs like VOO and IEFA to become the fastest-ever to reach $80 billion in assets.
Officially, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is now the fastest ETF in history to manage assets totaling $80 billion. Since its inception, the fund has experienced steady and quick development.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF surpasses $80B in record time
According to SoSoValue data, it took 374 days for BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) to attain this $80 billion valuation. Breaking the previous record set by the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which accomplished the same feat in 1,814 days, this record is the fastest in history.
On July 10 alone, IBIT had $448 million in inflows, compared to approximately $5.39 billion in value transacted. Its total net inflow increased to $53.45 billion as a result.
At a market price of $64.50 per share, its net asset worth is currently $80.11 billion. These figures demonstrate the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin as well as investor interest in the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF.
Currently, the 21st largest ETF globally is the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF. This accomplishment is a result of both the increase in the price of Bitcoin and the inflow of funds.
The fund’s underlying BTC exposure, which now amounts to 3.55% of all circulating Bitcoin, contributes to its overall performance.
IBIT surpasses traditional ETFs in achieving milestone
According to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the ETF’s recent surge on X was remarkable. According to him, the fund reached this milestone roughly five times quicker than any previous ETF. Additionally, he said that for the first time ever, the total assets under management for all spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $140 billion.

Inflows into the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF have accelerated, according to the SoSoValue statistics. When the price of Bitcoin declines, these net inflows frequently increase.
Because BlackRock Bitcoin ETF outperforms regular equities ETFs, its spectacular growth is all the more amazing. According to a chart comparing IBIT to VOO, IEFA, and IEMG, it reached $80 billion significantly faster than well-known funds.
While IEMG needed 2,089 days to reach the same level, IEFA needed 2,034 days. On the other hand, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF completed the task in a little more than a year. IBIT hit $70 billion in AuM five times faster than gold, according to a CoinGape report.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has the potential to overtake Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto as the greatest BTC holder if it keeps up its current rate of acquisition. It currently contains 700K Bitcoin.
Tron meme coins SUNDOG and PePeonTron soar after Binance Alpha listing
The TRON meme currency ecosystem gains momentum as Justin Sun’s SUNDOG and PePeonTron tokens soar following their Binance Alpha debut.
Two of SunPump’s native meme currencies, SUNDOG and PepeonTron, have been listed on Binance Alpha. This comes after Justin Sun recently announced ambitions to develop the TRON meme coin ecosystem even more. This resulted in profits for SUNDOG and PepeonTron.
SUNDOG and PePeonTron secure Binance Alpha listing
Recently, SunPump, a platform for the creation of TRON meme coins, revealed on X that SUNDOG and PePeonTron may now be traded and tracked on-chain using the Binance Wallet. PePeonTron increased by 4% and SUNDOG by 7% as a result of traders’ excitement over this news.

Notably, SUNDOG launched a trading pair with USD1 through World Liberty Financial, making it the first meme token on TRON to do so. To further broaden its reach, PePeonTron will also make its debut on MEXC’s Innovation Zone. The rumor that PePeonTron would aim for a $10 billion valuation if present demand keeps increasing is strengthened by this double listing.
This listing demonstrates how closely Binance Alpha is linked to the TRON ecosystem. While TRON guarantees quick transactions and a robust blockchain to support them, Binance serves as a busy gateway. This shows that Justin Sun’s efforts to position TRON as a leader in DeFi, NFTs, and meme tokens are having an impact.

Justin Sun’s bold vision for the TRON memecoin ecosystem
According to the article, Justin Sun has stepped up his efforts to make meme tokens a key component of the TRON plan. TRX’s daily trading volume surged 62% to $1.23 billion in July alone, and it recovered 15% in just two days.
Furthermore, SunPump.meme saw the first notable surge in four months when more than 122 new meme tokens were introduced in a single day. Nearly 96,000 tokens have been produced since the platform’s launch, generating almost $5.7 million in TRX fees. This indicates that the TRON meme currency ecosystem is gaining popularity.
TRON’s meme tokens may now reach a far wider trading audience thanks to Binance Alpha listings like SUNDOG and PePeonTron. This action could increase Binance’s trading volume and liquidity. These coins’ inclusion demonstrates the expansion of TRON’s ecosystem, particularly in light of Justin Sun’s announcement that TRX will be integrated with the Solana network.
As of this writing, SUNDOG is trading at $0.06342, a little less than its most recent peak of $0.06595. Its 99.89% spike in trading volume during the past day indicates heightened market activity. PepeonTron, on the other hand, gains 4% during the same time period and stays steady at $0.08847.
Breaking: SharpLink purchases 10,000 ETH from Ethereum Foundation, SBET stock up 7%
The SBET stock is up more than 7%, and Ethereum treasury business SharpLink Gaming has bought ETH straight from the Ethereum Foundation.
SharpLink Gaming, the biggest Ethereum treasury in the world, has once again increased its holdings. This time, the business intends to use the 10,000 ETH it bought from the Ethereum Foundation for DeFi. In light of this news, the SBET stock is also up more than 7% in premarket trade.
SharpLink gaming acquires 10,000 ETH from Ethereum Foundation
The business said in a press statement that it has reached a final deal with the Ethereum Foundation, whereby it would pay $25.72 million to buy 10,000 ETH on the Ethereum mainnet. These currencies will be purchased by the corporation for an average of $2,572.37 per Ethereum.
Only three days have passed since SharpLink Gaming increased the size of its Ethereum treasury to 205,634 ETH. At that time, the business declared that it was buying 7,689 ETH. The corporation will now have 215,634 ETH after purchasing 10,000 ETH.
Joseph Lubin, the chairman of SharpLink and a co-founder of Ethereum, commented on this development,
At a time when Ethereum is entering a new era of institutional relevance, we are proud to support the network’s long-term strength and decentralization mission. This isn’t a trade – it is a commitment to our long-term vision. SharpLink is acquiring, staking and restaking ETH as responsible industry stewards, removing supply from circulation and reinforcing the health of the Ethereum ecosystem
Indeed, by staking and restaking its Ethereum, SharpLink Gaming has made use of its Ethereum treasury. According to the company’s previous release, its yield-generation and staking strategies have generated 322 ETH in total.
SBET stock surges 13%
The SBET stock price has increased by more than 13% since SharpLink Gaming’s announcement. According to TradingView data, the stock completed yesterday’s trading session at $18.48 and is now trading at about $21.
The primary reason for the SBET stock’s 140% year-to-date (YTD) increase is their Ethereum treasury strategy. In the past year, the stock has also increased by more than 168%. It has still dropped more than 99% from its peak, though.
The sharp rise in SharpLink Gaming’s stock has also been influenced by the recent spike in the price of Ethereum. ETH is up more than 8% over the past day, according to CoinMarketCap statistics, and is presently trading close to the crucial $3,000 mark.
