- BlackRock attracted $7.9 billion in net inflows to digital asset products in Q3 2026, reversing roughly $2.2 billion in outflows from the first half of 2026
- BlackRock's digital asset AUM rose 63% to $79.6 billion by quarter's end, up from $48.8 billion at the end of June
- BlackRock's digital asset AUM is still 23% below the $104 billion it managed a year earlier
- Rising crypto prices added $22.9 billion to asset values during the quarter, accounting for most of the AUM increase beyond net inflows
- BlackRock generated $39 million in quarterly fees from its digital asset products
Why it matters: BlackRock, the world's biggest ETF issuer, pulled $7.9 billion of new crypto money in a single quarter and booked $39 million in fees, but the headline AUM rebound is mostly a price-appreciation story — $22.9 billion of the $30.8 billion quarterly gain came from rising crypto prices, not net new money. The AUM figure remains 23% below year-ago levels, signaling institutional crypto demand has rebounded from the first-half trough but has not yet matched its prior peak.
