Bitcoin Futures ETF hits $ 1 billion AUM in two record breaking days

Since the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF started trading this week, it has become the fastest fund to ever hit $ 1 billion in assets under management (AUM).

The highly anticipated launch of the US’s first exchange-traded Bitcoin futures fund, BITO, has resulted in a number of significant achievements.

Bloomberg ETF senior analyst Eric Balchunas reported that the fund was the fastest ever to hit a ten-digit AUM in just two trading days. BITO easily surpassed the previous record holder, a gold-based fund, with the ticker GLD, which in 2004 took three days to break the billion dollar mark.

He commented that this was “poetic”, perhaps in the context of Bitcoin’s valuable properties and comparisons with digital gold.
