BlackRock adds over 15,000 ETH to its spot ETF reserves
BlackRock added a combined $77 million in Bitcoin and Ether to its spot ETFs, according to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence.
Arkham Intelligence monitored the transactions, which showed 15,101 ETH worth $35.11 million moving to the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) and 566.75 BTC worth $41.85 million to the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). The transfers occurred approximately 55 minutes before the report.
These transfers are characteristic of daily creations for the ETFs, where BlackRock moves assets to its custodian, Coinbase Prime, to back newly issued shares. The consistent inflows into IBIT, one of the largest spot Bitcoin ETFs, and the new flows into the recently launched ETHA, point to sustained institutional appetite.
The steady demand for these regulated crypto products is a key factor supporting market structure, potentially strengthening the price floors for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This activity comes as the market watches whether ETH ETFs can replicate the success of their Bitcoin counterparts, which have accumulated billions in assets since their launch.
