2BlackRock's IBIT fund led the inflows, contributing $86.83 million to the total.

In a move reflecting accelerating institutional adoption of blockchain technology, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their first positive weekly net inflows since May, alongside explosive growth in tokenized asset funds. According to reports, these funds attracted $90.44 million in net inflows on July 10, with BlackRock's IBIT fund leading the activity by contributing $86.83 million, while the firm's BUIDL fund on the Avalanche network doubled its assets under management to $900 million within a single week.

This strategic expansion highlights a shift toward the digitalization of traditional assets, with BlackRock emerging as a dominant player in the regulated digital asset space. Per market data, BlackRock continues to outperform inflows seen in peer funds from Fidelity and VanEck, while the 100% weekly growth in the BUIDL fund (per market data) signals robust institutional demand for tokenized liquidity independent of direct cryptocurrency volatility.

Investors should monitor the sustainability of these inflows and the expansion of tokenization vehicles, as BLK shares closed at $1036.11 (close July 10, 2026). With markets awaiting U.S. inflation data in the upcoming economic calendar, focus remains on the ability of these funds to attract institutional liquidity as a benchmark for investor confidence in the digital asset sector's stability.
