#BlackRockETHPurchase BlackRock, one of the world's largest asset management firms, has recently made significant investments in Ethereum (ETH). On June 4, 2025, BlackRock acquired $50 million worth of ETH, as reported by Arkham's monitoring data. This move follows their earlier purchase of 27,241 ETH on June 3, 2025.
These acquisitions are part of BlackRock's broader strategy to increase exposure to Ethereum, possibly in anticipation of launching an Ethereum Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). In May 2024, BlackRock seeded its proposed spot Ethereum ETF, named iShares Ethereum Trust (ticker: ETHA), with a $10 million investment through the purchase of 400,000 shares at $25 each.
The firm's shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum may reflect a strategic reallocation towards Ethereum's utility in decentralized finance and smart contracts. Despite these substantial purchases, Ethereum's price experienced a 2.51% decline over the past 24 hours, trading at $2,570.24 on Binance as of June 6, 2025.
These developments indicate BlackRock's growing confidence in Ethereum's potential and suggest a broader institutional interest in the cryptocurrency market.
