BlackRock Moves $359 Million in Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime Before U.S. Jobs Data

BlackRock has not explained the transfers, leaving liquidation talk unconfirmed.

Overview

  • On-chain tracker Arkham reported 3,064 BTC and 26,723 ETH moved to Coinbase Prime.
  • The transfers coincided with net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and uneven Ethereum ETF flows.
  • Bitcoin and Ether fell in recent trading as investors weighed liquidity conditions and risk sentiment.
  • The timing preceded initial jobless claims and upcoming nonfarm payrolls, which could sway Fed expectations.
  • Market watchers scrutinized the activity given BlackRock’s scale and its perceived influence on crypto pricing.
