Blockchain research platform Arkham Intelligence has claimed to have identified the on-chain addresses with Bitcoin (BTC) backing several spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the United States.
Arkham took to X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 22 to announce that it has identified the on-chain location of four Bitcoin ETFs, including those issued by BlackRock, Bitwise, Fidelity and Franklin Templeton. Using Arkham’s data, one can check the hashes of transactions handled by the four spot Bitcoin ETFs directly on the Bitcoin blockchain.
According to the data, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) currently holds 33,430 BTC, worth around $1.3 billion. The information corresponds to public data on IBIT holdings disclosed on BlackRock’s website.
