The ETF experienced an increase in volatility as of March 2024, with a substantial increase of $452 million and $849 million. This situation was followed by long, low stability throughout April. Fink has expressed support for sustainable investing and a growing interest in digital assets.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Warned of New ‘De-dollarization’ Agenda by Bitcoin
Records show that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF has generated more than $19.5 billion in inflows since its introduction on the 11th. Its share price has increased by 20% in the last two weeks and has increased by 46% since its inception in January. The Trust has over $22.5 billion in assets, with a management fee of 0.25%, and has been named the United State’s best-performing Bitcoin ETF market.
Meanwhile, the current United States Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, has warned that countries are slowly boycotting the United States dollar as the primary means of trading. She added that this is happening when the United States is experiencing $34 trillion in total debt.
This, according to Yellen, has triggered a new fear that it may collapse with the growing popularity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, forcing the dollar domination into extinction. Reacting to the statement, Fink also warned, while talking to CNBC that the United States is putting a massive burden on the future generation, by spending what they cannot afford.
