IBIT Posts a 5.6% Intraday Gain With No Immediate Catalyst

IBIT Becomes Fastest-Growing ETF Ever
Some observers may look to recent product innovation for context. Tuttle Capital Management introduced a covered call exchange-traded fund built on IBIT late last month. The fund uses zero-days-to-expiration options, a structure meant to support income and reduce exposure to overnight swings. The launch, however, took place on September 24 and falls outside the period that would influence current trading.
For now, IBIT’s advance appears to reflect normal positioning inside a volatile corner of the market. With no immediate news shaping sentiment, the trust’s movement aligns with the fast reactions that often occur around bitcoin-related assets as investors adjust risk levels across the day.
