BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF is making a breakthrough on the markets. For Michael Saylor, this is just the beginning: he claims that IBIT will become the largest ETF in the world within ten years. A bold prediction that reflects the unstoppable rise of bitcoin in traditional finance.

The CEO of Strategy, Michael Saylor, is no stranger to bold statements in the crypto world. His latest prediction? The Bitcoin ETF launched by BlackRock - iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) - will, according to him, become the largest ETF in the world within the next ten years.

An ambitious forecast, especially considering the current podium is dominated by traditional giants: Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) with over 573 billion dollars in assets, followed by SPY and IVV, each surpassing 500 billion.

But BlackRock has arguments. To date, over 582,000 BTC are held via its Bitcoin ETF IBIT, valued at 54.2 billion dollars, placing the ETF already in the top 35 worldwide in terms of assets under management. Even better, IBIT now records daily trading volumes exceeding 45 million shares exchanged. A pace that impresses, especially in a still young market for crypto ETFs. But everything could soon change with the arrival of 70 crypto ETFs awaiting SEC approval. Will BlackRock keep its throne?

BTC Establishes Itself Even More

Michael Saylor, true to his long-term vision on bitcoin, is no stranger to bold bets. He had already mentioned a potential valuation of 13 million dollars per BTC. While this may seem excessive, his predictions are nonetheless closely followed, given his early and massive investment history in bitcoin has shaped his reputation. His latest move, the acquisition of 6,556 BTC in 7 days.

If BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, were to surpass traditional ETFs according to Michael Saylor's vision, it would be a major transformation in the global financial landscape, where digital assets would finally overtake classic stock indices. And this would send a strong signal: BTC is no longer just existing, it is establishing itself.

At the moment BlackRock records 3 billion dollars in crypto in Q1 2025, Michael Saylor's prediction on IBIT could redefine the rules of the global financial game. This scenario testifies to bitcoin's rise, moving from speculative asset to institutional pillar. A silent revolution might already be underway in the ETF markets.
