BlackRock's recent major move has attracted industry attention—purchasing over $107 million worth of Ethereum, equivalent to nearly 35,000 ETH flooding into the market. As a proponent of Bitcoin spot ETFs, this move by the trillion-dollar asset management giant is indeed worth pondering.
Institutional-level sell-offs are never simple. On the surface, it might be due to portfolio rebalancing, but the underlying signals are hard to interpret—are they a short-term risk forecast or a long-term allocation adjustment? The Federal Reserve's policies have been unpredictable lately, making this move more prone to speculation. Historically, whenever whales move large assets, the market tends to fluctuate, and retail investor psychology can be easily influenced.
But from another perspective, large institutional sell orders sometimes reflect liquidity needs rather than bearish sentiment. The problem is, no one can fully understand the true logic behind institutional actions; we can only infer from market reactions.
If you hold ETH, your current decision becomes even more critical. Some see this as a bottom-fishing opportunity, while others believe a significant drop may be imminent. What’s your view? Will BlackRock continue to sell off or buy back on dips? What is your own strategy—setting stop-losses, accumulating on dips, or observing first?

ah here we go again... $107M dump and suddenly everyone's reading tea leaves like it's 2017. statistically speaking, this is literally the playbook from 2021 before everything went sideways. *checks notes* yep, institutional accumulation followed by strategic exits... history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme lmao

BlackRock is playing psychological warfare again. Every time they make such a move, you have to see if they will make up for it later; otherwise, it's really dangerous.
