Bitcoin institutional demand harder to see beyond ETFs as collateral loan risks rise
Risks in the bitcoin market are shifting from spot exchange-traded fund inflows and outflows to forced liquidation zones created by collateralised lending structures, an analysis said. As institutions spread capital across options-income products, bitcoin-backed loans and structured credit, ETF flows alone no longer show real supply and demand. The growing credit market could make specific price levels more fragile in a downturn, while macro conditions such as U.S. rates may widen spreads on bitcoin-linked debt.

BlackRock recommends adding bitcoin to portfolios
BlackRock has recommended that investors allocate 1 to 2 percent of their portfolios to bitcoin, presenting a balance between improving returns and managing risk through diversification. The guidance, presented by Michael Gates, head of portfolio management for BlackRock’s model portfolios, says a small allocation can influence performance without driving day-to-day risk. BlackRock cited its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) as an implementation tool.

BlackRock says bitcoin spot ETFs hit by AI rally but diversification value remains
BlackRock proposed that financial advisers allocate 1 to 2 percent of portfolios to bitcoin, while acknowledging that recent market flows have been unfavourable for the cryptocurrency. U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have seen outflows for more than 45 sessions, topping $7.8 billion in total. BlackRock said non-AI assets have lost investor attention as AI momentum absorbs market focus. It also launched a bitcoin options income ETF, BITA, and highlighted fees and asset levels.
