ChainThink reports that on August 27, according to Coindesk, Robbie Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, stated that U.S. government debt and deficit levels are becoming a primary market concern, and assets such as Bitcoin and gold often benefit when these risks regain attention.

He believes that Bitcoin's recent performance relative to stock and bond markets further highlights its unique appeal as an emerging store of value.

Meanwhile, market data shows that BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, recorded a weekly trading volume of 439.5 million shares last week, marking the highest weekly volume since its launch in January 2024.

The spot IBIT price rose 22.59% to $43.68, recording net inflows of $1.3 billion; year-to-date net inflows have increased to $2.64 billion. This performance is seen as reflecting continued institutional buying rather than short-term speculative activity.
