🚨 BlackRock Moves BTC & ETH to Coinbase Amid Record ETF Outflows — What’s Next for Crypto Markets?
📊 Arkham Intelligence data shows BlackRock has transferred 2,544 BTC ($292M) and 101,975 ETH ($373M) to Coinbase Prime, fueling speculation that the asset giant may be preparing to offload significant holdings.
🗓 This move follows a wave of ETF redemptions on August 4:
🔻 $292M net outflow from BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT)
🔻 $375M net outflow from its Ethereum ETF (ETHA)
🔻 Overall, crypto ETFs saw record outflows — $333M in BTC and $465M in ETH
📢 As crypto ETFs face their biggest outflows since inception, institutional sentiment seems to be shifting. Fidelity also moved large ETH volumes to Coinbase amid similar redemptions.
🏛 However, with SEC-approved in-kind redemption mechanisms, these asset managers may not be forced to sell assets — opting instead to swap shares for underlying crypto directly.
🔎 This evolving ETF structure could be a key buffer against market panic, but the short-term moves still raise questions about broader institutional confidence.
