Although the market has flipped bearish again, market commentators believe that the sustained inflows indicate long-term positioning rather than short-term trading.
While Coinbase Prime is largely renowned for frequently facilitating large over-the-counter transactions and custody services for major financial institutions, the large transfer into BlackRock’s ETF wallet has been closely watched by market participants.

While BlackRock’s renewed buying streak signals strengthened confidence among investors, Bitcoin’s price has flipped negative after the latest Bitcoin withdrawal from Coinbase.
Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has dropped by 3.38% despite the rapid price surge seen in the previous day. As such, it is trading at $64,045 as of writing time despite reclaiming $69,953 three days ago.
