- iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF (IBLC) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the NYSE FactSet Global Blockchain Technologies Index, which comprises U.S. and non-U.S. companies involved in the development, innovation, and utilization of blockchain and crypto technologies. The fund provides exposure to equities in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors, including cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase Global Inc. and Robinhood Markets Inc.; bitcoin mining and data center operators like MARA Holdings Inc., Riot Platforms Inc., Core Scientific Inc., CleanSpark Inc., IREN Ltd., and Cipher Mining Inc.; semiconductor and hardware providers including NVIDIA Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc., and Canaan Inc.; financial services firms such as Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd., Mastercard Inc., Visa Inc., and PayPal Holdings Inc.; and software and tech companies like International Business Machines Corp., Block Inc., and Tencent Holdings Ltd., with approximately 40 holdings weighted by free-float adjusted market capitalization and revenue exposure to the theme. IBLC targets institutional and retail investors seeking thematic equity exposure to the global blockchain ecosystem across financial services (over 60% allocation), technology, and related segments, operating primarily in U.S. and international markets including North America, Europe, and Asia. Launched on April 25, 2022, and managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors under the iShares brand of BlackRock, Inc., the ETF is domiciled in the United States with headquarters aligned to BlackRock's operations in Wilmington, Delaware. The fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.47%, with recent assets under management around $105 million and shares outstanding near 1.65 million as of late 2025. It distributes dividends semi-annually, with the latest payout of $0.02 per share recorded on June 16, 2025. In recent developments, IBLC has experienced substantial portfolio evolution reflecting blockchain sector dynamics, including top holdings shifts toward emerging leaders like Circle Internet Group Inc. and BitMine Immersion Technologies alongside established miners, driven by index reconstitutions and market performance surges exceeding 60% year-to-date and 89% over one year as of late 2025. The fund saw a capital gains distribution in 2022 and continues to adapt to crypto market expansions without major structural changes, acquisitions, or new launches specific to IBLC itself, though BlackRock expanded its broader crypto offerings with related products like the iShares Bitcoin ETP in October 2025. No significant partnerships, funding rounds, or reorganizations have been reported for IBLC in the last 1-2 years, maintaining focus on index tracking amid heightened volatility and growth in holdings' revenues from blockchain applications.
