Blackrock Cuts IBIT Conversion Minimum From $25M to $1MHe said activity has grown over the past three quarters as Blackrock worked to make the service accessible to a broader range of investors. The firm hopes the threshold can eventually fall further.
That infrastructure matters. Lower conversion minimums could make it easier for large bitcoin holders to move assets into ETF structures without first selling into cash, widening the bridge between native crypto ownership and traditional brokerage accounts.
