BlackRock's crypto ETF assets surge 63% but remain far below 2025 peak

In this news:

Key takeaways

  • BlackRock reached $79.6 billion in digital assets under management at the end of September.
  • Assets surged 63% from the end of June following a market recovery.
  • Investors contributed $7.9 billion in inflows during the third quarter.

BlackRock's crypto funds had a much better third quarter than first half of the year but they still have a long way to go to recover the assets lost during the broader crypto market downturn.

The asset manager reported $79.6 billion in digital assets under management at the end of September, a 63% jump from $48.8 billion at the end of June, according to its third-quarter earnings report released Wednesday.

Investors added $7.9 billion to BlackRock's digital asset products during the quarter, more than making up for the roughly $2.2 billion they withdrew during the first six months of 2026.

The reversal came as crypto markets recovered from a slump earlier this year. Bitcoin BTC$83,212.45 and other cryptocurrencies had faced pressure during the first half of the year, weighing on the value of funds that hold them. The third-quarter recovery gave those funds a lift, while renewed investor demand added to their assets.

Rising crypto prices did most of the heavy lifting. Of the $30.8 billion BlackRock added in digital assets during the quarter, $22.9 billion came from market gains, while investors contributed another $7.9 billion.
