BlackRock invested $454 million in Bitcoin ETFs in single day, largest institutional inflow since January
BlackRock purchased $454 million in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on September 8, marking the largest single-day institutional inflow since January 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The transaction represented the majority of $731 million in total Bitcoin ETF inflows that day, with six additional asset managers also buying, Yahoo Finance reports. The purchase follows a month of sustained institutional Bitcoin buying that began after the U.S. Treasury announced a bond-buyback program in August, according to Yahoo Finance. In parallel developments, Yahoo Finance reports that two cryptocurrency firms received preliminary approval to operate as U.S. banks, and that Coinbase filed regulatory applications to enable 24/7 trading.
