Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n

BlackRock\u2019s crypto stash topped $100 billion, less than two years since Spot BTC and ETH ETFs debuted. Will the ETH ETF staking approval expand the holdings?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, now controls over $100 billion worth of crypto, underscoring increasing institutional demand for the asset class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Arkham data<\/a>, the firm\u2019s Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> holdings have grown to 740.5K coins worth about $85 billion as of press time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethereum [ETH]<\/a> is the second-largest crypto asset held by BlackRock. As of writing, the firm had 3.66 million ETH, worth about $16B, collectively bringing its core holdings to over $100B.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH accumulation fluctuates<\/h2>\n

However, BlackRock\u2019s ETH accumulation has lost some steam towards the end of Q3, compared to BTC.\u00a0<\/span>For BTC, it ramped up its stash from 698K BTC to over 740K, about 6% surge in the past two months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past seven days of trading, BlackRock\u2019s iShares Ethereum Trust has seen over 58K ETH outflows, about a 1.4% decline over the same period. <\/span><\/p>\n

The net assets dropped from over $17B to $15.9B amid the outflows and ETH price pullback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to analytics <\/span>firm<\/span><\/a> LookOnChain, BlackRock sold nearly $200M worth of ETH on the 9th of September, 2x higher than the amount of BTC ($100M) offloaded over the same period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply put, investors in BlackRock crypto products have shown remarkable resilience in BTC compared to ETH.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it remains to be seen how the potential staking <\/span>approval<\/span><\/a> could improve the overall demand for ETH ETFs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, Spot BTC ETFs remain the keyholders of BTC. As of September, this category of investors controls about 7% (1.4 million) of BTC\u2019s total 21 million supply of coins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, corporate treasuries, led by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), command 4.6% (1 million BTC) of the overall supply.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
