Between the secret wallets of giants and the shock simulations of Wall Street, the mapping of Bitcoin holders is shifting. What if AIs are now leading the dance?
Between the secret wallets of giants and the shock simulations of Wall Street, the mapping of Bitcoin holders is shifting. What if AIs are now leading the dance?
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $292.5 million in net inflows during the first two sessions of October. The initial total of $134.4 million was incomplete because it did not yet include the $158.2 million allocated to BlackRock's IBIT fund on October 2.
TOKEN2049 opens its doors on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, for two days and 25,000 participants expected, according to the organizer. For this edition, the only one of the year since the Dubai event was postponed to 2027, the president of Nasdaq, the leader of Franklin Templeton, and officials from BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs are among the speakers. Cointribune explains what this presence of Wall Street says about the event, what to follow on the program, and the cost of the ticket one week before the opening.
Over the past three weeks, Bitcoin ETFs have captured approximately 3.8 billion dollars. This is their best performance since the beginning of this year. In the last week, they attracted an additional 986.9 million dollars despite a withdrawal. This recovery thus confirms the return of institutional demand, although it has not yet offset all the outflows recorded since January.
A threshold divided by 25, more than 5 billion dollars of bitcoin already converted, and increasingly close links between BlackRock and Ripple. Behind these seemingly technical moves lies a clear strategy: turning whale fear into opportunity, and BTC into a locked financial product.
Bitcoin lost more than 50% between its October 2025 peak and its June low. However, BlackRock does not change its position. In a new report dedicated to BTC, the world's largest asset manager maintains an allocation of 1 to 2% in a traditional portfolio. For them, the drop mainly comes from leverage, institutional outflows, and sales from large holders. Not from a change in the Bitcoin case.
BlackRock opens the floodgates on its Bitcoin ETF. Twenty-five million? That was yesterday. Now one million will do. The whales are circling.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced a sharp reversal in Q2 2026. Their activity on the shares went from a net increase of $13.9 billion a year earlier to a decrease of $3.5 billion. An annual gap of $17.4 billion that mostly reveals the magnitude of the redemptions.

A few billion dollars were enough to reshuffle the cards of the crypto market. Between July 13 and 17, institutional investors gave momentum back to assets thanks to a marked inflow of capital into US spot ETFs. This return of buyers allowed bitcoin and Ether to close the week in the green, after several sessions marked by uncertainty. A dynamic that once again highlights BlackRock's weight, which has become an essential player in directing flows towards cryptocurrencies.
Cryptos are no longer just a playground for speculation. For Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the market is entering a new phase driven by tokenization, better risk management, and more rigorous project selection. Interviewed on CNBC on July 15, 2026, the leader of the world’s largest asset manager delivered a comprehensive vision beyond bitcoin. At a time when investors seek more stability than promises, his statements illustrate the accelerated convergence between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
BlackRock approaches 3 billion dollars of tokenized blockchain assets. The financial giant now manages 2.93 billion dollars onchain, with Ethereum leading at 1.1 billion. This milestone confirms that institutional crypto is no longer limited to bitcoin ETFs: it is also settling into money market funds, Treasury bonds, and liquidity management.
While institutional investors’ confidence wavered amid significant volatility, Bitcoin and Ether ETFs have just recorded their first positive weekly trend reversal since May. This crucial rebound breaks a prolonged capitulation phase. Moreover, it serves as a barometer to measure the real appetite of traditional finance.
The crypto market has just crossed a symbolic threshold, but this resurgence of confidence masks a much more fragile reality. While crypto ETFs were supposed to sustainably establish institutional capital in the market, their latest financial reports reveal weaknesses that question the strength of this dynamic. This observation comes at a pivotal moment, where Federal Reserve decisions and US macroeconomic uncertainties continue to guide global flows. A combination that could weigh on the trajectory of these assets in the coming months.
The institutional investment vehicle market has just received a major warning signal, demonstrating that a single arbitrage by a giant can disrupt the entire capital flow of an industry. While crypto-backed financial products seemed to stabilize approaching the half-year close, a wave of massive withdrawals shook the listed index funds, calling into question the short-term resilience of institutional demand.

At Wall Street, the era of massive crypto rise within institutions is undergoing its first real regulatory and financial scrutiny. After several months of continuous euphoria, the most followed investment vehicles in traditional finance are facing a historic halt, reversing short-term balances in the crypto market. The US spot Bitcoin ETFs, once rally drivers, are now fully experiencing the arbitrage of much more cautious institutional players. This downward trend marks a major break, both due to the astronomical amounts withdrawn and the speed at which market sentiment has reversed.

According to NYDIG's analysis, the transaction on BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust could come from a large investor wishing to exit their exposure quickly. The block, traded over the counter on May 26, is mainly intriguing because of its amount, discount, and the absence of clear signals on futures contracts.
