$122 Million Ethereum Purchase Linked to BlackRock Wallets
Prefer us on GoogleIt has been reported that clients associated with BlackRock-linked wallets have purchased $122 million worth of Ethereum. This transaction is recorded as the largest Ethereum purchase in the last seven months. The timing of this move, occurring during a period when institutional investors are expanding their access to Ethereum through regulated investment products, adds to its significance. Arkham also noted that on January 15, BlackRock-linked clients made a $149 million Ethereum purchase. The latest acquisition is seen as one of the strong signs of institutional interest in recent months. However, it cannot be said that this on-chain movement is a direct purchase recorded on BlackRock's own balance sheet; the data rather indicates customer transactions passing through entities associated with BlackRock. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF product, ETHA, reached approximately $5.65 billion in net asset size as of August 10. This structure allows large investors to gain exposure to Ethereum without dealing with wallet management and direct custody processes. Additionally, BlackRock will launch the iShares Staked ETH Trust ETF, ETHB, in February 2026. The market is expected to monitor ETH ETF inflows and similar-sized new on-chain transactions in the upcoming period. Whether the $122 million purchase is a one-time transaction or part of a broader institutional accumulation remains an important question.
