✓

What it means

Compared with earlier periods, the practical change is that BlackRock’s IBIT has added more Bitcoin to its holdings while staying the market’s dominant Bitcoin ETF. What has not changed is that the buying is still happening through the ETF structure rather than some different vehicle.
