IBIT gained $10B in assets in first few weeks, now has $17B, making it fastest growing ETF ever
Bitcoin price hit fresh all-time high of $71K this week amid rising adoption and demand
Interest in Bitcoin rivaling gold - Bitcoin ETFs gained $50B in assets in just 57 days vs 5+ years for gold ETFs
Fink very bullish on long-term viability of Bitcoin, though some remain skeptical of Bitcoin ETFs vs physically-backed assets
