But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed:

IBIT in Focus

iShares Bitcoin Trust seeks to reflect the performance of the price of Bitcoin. The product charges 25 bps in annual fees (See: All Cryptocurrency ETFs).

Why the Move?

Driven by the increased investor risk appetite and persistent institutional demand, Bitcoin is soaring to record highs. Investor interest in this digital currency has also increased as they look for alternative routes to traditional currencies, given that the outlook for greenback remains volatile. Investors have also increased their bets on the pace of interest rate cuts by the Fed, potentially leading to increased exposure to digital currencies.

More Gains Ahead?

IBIT might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 89.30 (as per Barchart.com), which gives cues of a further rally.
