Crypto Fund Leaders Emerge as Genius Act Signals New Era for Digital Assets

NEW YORK (July 10, 2025) – ISS Market Intelligence (MI), a leading provider of data, analytics, insights, media, and events solutions to the global financial services industry, reveals that just three firms — BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale Investments — now control nearly 85 percent of all crypto fund assets under management (AUM), totaling approximately $123 billion.

With the U.S. Senate having passed the landmark Genius Act, setting the stage for the enactment of the first federal framework for stablecoins, ISS MI reveals new insights into the rapidly evolving crypto fund landscape.

BlackRock leads the field by a wide margin, holding nearly $70 billion in crypto AUM across its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). These funds have also seen strong investor interest, with combined net inflows of 22.3 percent year-to-date. In contrast, Grayscale Investments has experienced nearly $2 billion in outflows, likely driven by recent fee increases.
