BREAKING: 🇺🇸 BlackRock has transferred approximately $101.4M worth of Bitcoin (1,134 BTC) and $22.1M worth of Ethereum from its IBIT and ETHA ETF wallets to Coinbase Prime.
These movements are most likely linked to institutional rebalancing, ETF-related redemptions, or liquidity management, and do not necessarily indicate an immediate market sell-off. Institutional flows continue to play a major role in short-term crypto market dynamics.
Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all saw a sharp sell-off in the same session, while Bitcoin stayed relatively stable. This kind of divergence usually matters.
If this move marks a local top for precious metals, it could signal capital rotation. Historically, when metals lose momentum after a strong run, liquidity often looks for the next high-beta asset.
If that pattern repeats, crypto could see a strong move as we head into early 2026. #PALLADIUM
UPDATE: Bitcoin closed 2025 slightly lower at ~$87,600, ending the year around 6–8% down. This marks its first red year since 2022, breaking a two-year recovery streak. However, context matters.
After a very strong run in 2023 and 2024, 2025 looked more like a cool-off and consolidation phase, not a trend reversal.
Historically, Bitcoin often pauses after big expansion years before its next major move.
Volatility remains part of the cycle patience and perspective still matter more than yearly returns.
