BlackRock Dumps $441M in Bitcoin and $71M+ Worth of Ethereum Amid Market Sell-Off ...Middle East

BlackRock continued its Bitcoin and Ethereum sell-off today, moving a substantial portion of its assets to crypto exchange Coinbase Prime. The panic in the cryptocurrency market has intensified, with the Crypto Fear and Greed index dropping to 10, a level last seen in 2022. Notably, the Solana meme coin fallout and Donald Trump’s recent tariff vows have spurred this skepticism. Notably, the sell-off has spilled over to diamond-handed asset manager BlackRock, which has resumed liquidating its Bitcoin and Ethereum stash. The leading Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer has had a track record of holding onto its stash despite market downturns until now. BlackRock Dumps Fresh Bitcoin and Ethereum Data from Arkham shows that the issuer of the fastest-growing fund in ETF history continued its selling spree today. BlackRock shifted 5,100 BTC ($441 million) and 30,280 ETH ($71.85 million) to the Coinbase Prime deposit address. The prominent asset manager transferred the Bitcoin in batches of 300 BTC over 17 transactions, starting around 11:15 (UTC) on Thursday. Before then, the address tied to BlackRock had moved 30,280 ETH over four transactions to the same recipient.
