14Since yesterday, options trading of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF $IBIT has been possible.
The derivative has collected almost USD 2 billion within 24 hours.
The following video by Florian Bruce-Boye explains quite well what this means and what new opportunities it opens up, especially for institutional investors.
It also explains why the price could potentially explode as a result. Take a look if you are interested:

Walmart raises forecast again + Bitcoin: Is the next price explosion already in the starting blocks + Symrise wants to take over Swedish biotech company Probi completely
The US supermarket group Walmart $WMT (+0.02%) is once again raising its forecast. Net sales are expected to increase by 4.8 to 5.1 percent in the current financial year (until the end of January), excluding currency effects, as the company announced on Tuesday in Bentonville, Arkansas. Walmart had already raised its outlook in mid-August and expected growth of 3.75 to 4.75 percent. The share price rose by almost five percent in pre-market trading and is therefore likely to continue its record rally. According to the new forecast, operating profit adjusted for special effects is expected to increase by 8.5 to 9.25 percent. Previously, the supermarket group had only expected 6.5 to 8 percent. Walmart is now planning adjusted earnings per share of 2.42 to 2.47 US dollars, compared to the previous target of 2.35 to 2.43 dollars. In the third quarter of the financial year to the end of October, sales rose by 5.5 percent to 169.6 billion dollars (160.58 billion euros) compared to the same period last year. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase amounted to 6.2 percent. Adjusted operating profit increased nominally by 8.2 percent to 6.7 billion dollars. Adjusted earnings per share rose by just under 14 percent to 0.58 dollars. Walmart's figures exceeded analysts' expectations.
In the USA, another milestone in the development of Bitcoin $BTC (+1.41%) into an established investment instrument. Yesterday, trading in options on the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) $IBIT started yesterday. This could lead to a huge price explosion à la MicroStrategy $MSTR (+2.67%) price explosion. On November 18, the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) announced that the necessary regulatory preparations had been completed. The IBIT ETF will be the first Bitcoin spot ETF on which options can be traded. Nasdaq plans to list the options starting November 19, as Alison Hennessy, Head of ETP Listings, explained.
The probi main shareholder Symrise $SY1 (+0.12%) wants to acquire its Swedish biotech investment. The manufacturer of fragrances and flavors wants to pay 350 Swedish crowns (30.24 euros) in cash for each outstanding share, the DAX-listed company announced on Wednesday. The offer corresponds to a premium of 42 percent compared to the closing price on Tuesday. In total, the Probi acquisition is valued at just under four billion crowns (344 million euros). Shareholders are expected to be able to accept the offer from December 18. Symrise already holds almost 70 percent of the shares in Probi. The largest shareholders after Symrise, Fjärde AP-fonden and Moneta Asset Management, have also already accepted the offer - they hold just under 18 percent of the outstanding shares. As soon as Symrise owns more than 90 percent of all shares, Probi will reportedly be delisted from the stock exchange.

Spot ETFs had an absolute record day yesterday 🚀
On yesterday's trading day alone, over 1.3 billion dollars flowed into the Bitcoin Spot ETFs, which is a record.
The $IBIT of $BLK received 1.1 billion $🤯 alone
This brings the inflows since the ETFs started trading in January to over 25.5 billion dollars.
To put it in Larry Fink's words "$IBIT is the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs."

ETFs already in the top 10 of all ETFs of the last 10 years!
Over 2,000 ETFs have been launched in the last 10 years.
Both the $IBIT from Blackrock and the $FBTC from Fidelity have already made it into the top 10 ETFs of the last 10 years! And this despite the fact that they are only 10 months old...
BTW: How do things actually look with the $ETH (+0.11%) ETFs?
After the launch on July 23 this year, ETF inflows of no less than -572 million $ in the books🤣
Bitcoin cycles in the year of the halving. If September was green for Bitcoin, the following three months were all green. Bitcoin is up 11.5% this September and there are only four trading days (including today) left this month. Where do you see the Bitcoin price at the end of the year? My guess is $100,000 (currently $65,000).

Investing.com - Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) disclosed a notable investment in its 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the second quarter of 2024. The bank invested $187.79 million in BlackRock (NYSE:BLK)'s spot Bitcoin ETF. This makes Morgan Stanley one of the five largest shareholders in the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF with a total market value of 20 billion dollars."°1
"The annual fees charged by issuers can also contribute to capital attraction. BlackRock has set its fee for the iShare ETF at 0.12% for the first 12 months, or up to $5 billion in assets under management, and then plans to increase it to 0.25%."°2

Blech Rock is making money from the product 😜
I'm really looking forward to the 2025 reporting season and finding out how much they have earned and will earn with the product.
Another small addition
BlackRock conquers the crypto throne
With assets under management now totaling USD 21.22 billion, BlackRock is pulling away from the crypto ETF competition. Grayscale is beaten.

--BlackRock, Inc. ($BLK ) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $5.10 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 23, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2024.
So stable
But I firmly believe that the launch of the two ETFs $IBIT and US46438R1059 will put a lot of money in the coffers and contribute to the fact that we will soon see a nice increase.
By the way, no stalking for more returns in the ETF
"WILL THE iSHARES ETHEREUM TRUST ETF USE ITS ETHER TO GENERATE RETURNS FOR INVESTORS?
No, the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF will not be staking its ether at this time. Staking involves operational complexities and regulatory issues that make it unfeasible at this time."

We'll see what happens, let's see
Furthermore, the amount of the next dividend payments remains unchanged from the last quarter:
