IBIT Fastest ETF to $10 Billion, Blast Finally Launches

Meanwhile, the QQQ is up nearly 1.0%, and the SPX has gained 0.50% for the day.As discussed in our crypto commentary video last night, yesterday's price action was remarkably bullish, especially considering the $600 million outflow from GBTC.
