BlackRock acted contrariwise by buying $150M Ethereum, as noted by Arkham Intelligence on X. These actions represent substantial activity among major U.S. asset managers deeply involved in digital asset markets.
Ethereum experienced a notable price drop due to increased sell pressure from institutional sales. This fallout affected not only ETH but also related Layer 2 rollups and DeFi governance tokens tracking ETH volatility.
The financial impact included ETH outflows of $196.6M on key dates and Bitcoin saw inflows of $332.7M. Such movements indicate Bitcoin’s perception as a safe haven during Ethereum’s downturn.
Following the sales, stakeholder activities and market dynamics saw major shifts. The Pectra upgrade prompted withdrawals, influencing ETH market behavior and validator movements.
