New York, September 10, 2025 – BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with $10 trillion AUM, has completed a major BlackRock crypto acquisition worth $213.5 million. The purchase includes $169.3 million in Bitcoin (BTC) and $44.2 million in Ethereum (ETH). The deal was disclosed today in an SEC filing.
This move significantly expands BlackRock’s exposure via the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA). The acquisition has ignited bullish momentum across markets, signaling institutional confidence in digital assets during a recovering global economy.
BlackRock entered the crypto space in January 2024 with IBIT, followed by ETHA in July 2024. Its latest BlackRock crypto acquisition builds on earlier inflows, including $2.1 billion into Bitcoin in November 2024 and nearly $890 million into Ethereum by June 2025.
The $213.5 million injection could push Bitcoin above $65,000 and Ethereum near $4,500 in the short term. Analysts expect a 10–15% rise in Q4 2025, though volatility may persist as retail traders react. Importantly, the move reinforces institutional demand, likely boosting ETF inflows and liquidity.
The BlackRock crypto acquisition signals a broader financial shift. By 2030, BlackRock’s leadership may inspire other institutions to allocate to BTC and ETH. This could push Bitcoin’s market cap to $2 trillion and Ethereum’s beyond $500 billion.
The trend could cement BTC and ETH as portfolio mainstays alongside gold. Over time, BlackRock’s participation may also drive regulatory clarity. It could further support the integration of digital assets into retirement funds and indices, fueling mainstream acceptance.
Real voices. Real reactions.
@coinbureau That’s the kind of buy pressure that shifts momentum fast.
