Our chart of the week compares asset growth between the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) since their respective launch dates. IBIT has surged to nearly $100 billion in assets in just 750 days – a pace that far outstrips VOO, which took nearly 8 years to reach the same milestone. This rapid growth highlights the accelerating demand for Bitcoin exposure through ETFs and investor appetite toward alternative assets, specifically Bitcoin. While VOO’s steady climb reflects long-term confidence in broad equity markets, IBIT’s surge showcases how quickly new investment themes can gain traction and how market innovation can reshape the investment landscape.
